      I am having an issue with duplicate content that I can't seem to figure out.  I got rid of the www.mydomain.com by modifying the htaccess file but I can't figure out how to fix theproblem of  mydomain.com/ and mydomain.com

            both great answers, the htaccess change didn't work for me cause I am a helpless noob, but the rel=canonical worked like a charm, thanks all your the best.

            • Hi - How do you get rid of duplicate content that was accidentally created on a tag url? For example, when I published a new article, the content was duplicated on: /posts/tag/lead-generation/
