      Hey everyone!

      Thanks again for everybodies contributions to my questions over the last few months.

      As the title states, our homepage is at

      "example.com/default.html"

      but everybody that backlinks to us (as expected) to "example.com"

      does that mean that I am probably losing a lot of the power of my links??

        Depending on how example.com is redirected to example.com/default.html you may be losing some "power" through the redirect.

        A easy fix would be to simply make your example.com/default.html act as though its example.com through .htaccess
