Duplicate Home Page Fix Doesnt Work :-(

[Nightwing]

Good Afternoon from 16 degrees C 85% Humidity Wetherby UK...

Having ran a screaming from report for www.davidclick.com the tool diagnosed there was two versions of the home page and here are the 2 urls for the home page:

www.davidclick.com
www.davidclick.com/index.htm

I leaped into action and added this line of code into the head section of www.davidclick.com/index.htm and hers it is:http://i216.photobucket.com/albums/cc53/zymurgy_bucket/canonical-code.jpg

But why when i run a screaming frog report its still telling me there are two versions of thye home page.

Any insights welcome

You need to 301 /index.htm to www.davidclick.com to stop those errors coming up.

(1) Some reports don't take into account the Rel=canonical tag even though its there but it seems good to me.

(2) I would recommend a 301 for an /index page to your domain (www.davidclick.com) instead of a canonical tag.
