      Hi,

      My problem is this:

      SEOmoz tells me I have duplicate content because it is picking up my index page in three different ways:

      http://www.web-writer-articles.co.uk

      http://www.web-writer-articles.co.uk/

      and

      http://www.web-writer-articles.co.uk/index.php

      Can someone give me some advice as to how I can deal with this issue?

      thank you for your time,

      louandel15

          Hi, there are several ways to solve this issue:

          1. Go to Google Webmaster Tools and go to Configuration>Configuration and click the url that you prefer.
          2. Use 301 redirection.
          3. Add the urls you don't like to your robots.txt

          you should learn more about these 3 technics before applying one of them.

          Cheers !
