Using SEOmoz for the first time, the initial crawl said we have 9,00 errors which were basically 4,500 duplicate pages and 4,500 dupllicate page titles.  (ie http://domainname/etc .html, and http://www.domainmname/etc .html
We altered our website accordingly by changing all internal links to http://www.domainmname/etc .html as Google and all other rngines are listing us using the www. prefix.

On the next crawl we now have even more of these duplicate errors.  How d we go about removing them as we only have one file for each on the server.

Google has down graded our website in April by 35% and ass this is a retail site we are losing a lot of business.

I would very much appreciate it if anyone has the time to amswer.

Have you changed the preffered domain suffix in GWT? If you exclude one of the two (domain.com or www.domain.com) google will not register duplicate pages/content on ie /etc And add a redirect from domain.com to www.domain.com That should fix the issue

Thx Alsvik,

Yes I have just done this.  We had originally set this up with Google but somehow the site owner verification for the url got removed and Google had reverted to No preference.  Hopefully this will sort the problem
