        Even with just one page, you can get duplicate content. Consider:

        www.example.com
        www.example.com/
        www.example.com/index.html
        example.com
        example.com/
        example.com/index.html

        Might this be the case for you? It's hard to know without seeing your URL.

          I've also seen quite a lot of these:

          example.com/home.html
          example.com/cms/index.html

              Could be that your header is linking to the index.html instead of just the root URL.
