Help! Same page with multiple urls. How is this handled?

[manintights28]

I'm using DotNetNuke for many of our sites.

DotNetNuke's home page can have multiple VALID URLs that go to the same home page.

Example:

http://aviation-sms.com

http://www.aviation-sms.com

http://aviation-sms.com/default.aspx

http://www.aviation-sms.com/default.aspx

and

http://aviation-sms.com/aviationSMS.aspx

http://www.aviation-sms.com/aviationSMS.aspx

All the above URLs have the same content.

In the page header tag, I have:

Should I be doing something else? such as removing the "default.aspx"???

I have a blog also that has a boatload of pages. I tried this canonical approach, but I'm not sure SEO Moz likes it and the tool offers me little guidance on this issue.

In this case, use the canonical to point to the default version of the page, without the default.aspx - make sure all pages use the same canonical tag.

More importantly, you have a major redirect loop going on here on your home page - this is definitely not configured properly  - look at the attached image - you have 3 redirects going  here, both 302 and 301 - you really should clean up this path and have the site resolve normally in a browser- the tool I'm using is the ayima redirection tool for chrome, but the mozbar in chrome and firefox will also show you the redirects - go to page analysis, an then the second tab, page attributes, will show you the redirect path your browser took.

You should have either http://www.aviation-sms.com or http://aviation-sms.com resolve a 200 status code, and ideally, the other one should 301 redirect to the correct version. If not, then use the canonical tag to point to the primary version on all other versions of the URL.

Hope this helps-

Thanks Mark, that helps. Since they are all the same page, it is easy to put the canonical on all the pages.

Thanks for the mention of ayima. I was unaware of this tool and it is nice. I got my list down to three.

Not sure my next step.
