Issue: Duplicate Page Title

[Chenzo]

When you are in Error status for Duplicate Page Titles - but it is because of the root domain:

Example.com

and

Example.com/index

• How to you go about changing the title of the same page without looking un-natural.

My client has built his site with the - index file pulling to the root - but the crawlers are seeing TWO separate pages - when in reality they are the same.

Riddle me this batman?

Just 301 the /index to / Robin and go back to the bat cave and wait.

Agreed, although you may want to consider using a canonical link instead of a 301, both methods will work, but canonical links are increasingly replacing 301's in the scenario you have outlined
