        Even with just one page, you can get duplicate content. Consider:

        www.example.com
        www.example.com/
        www.example.com/index.html
        example.com
        example.com/
        example.com/index.html

        Might this be the case for you? It's hard to know without seeing your URL.

          I've also seen quite a lot of these:

          example.com/home.html
          example.com/cms/index.html

              Could be that your header is linking to the index.html instead of just the root URL.

              • Should H1s be used in the logo? If they are and it is dynamic on each page to relate to the page content, is this detrimental to the site rather than having it in the page content?
