Issue: Duplicate Pages Content
-
Hello,
Following the setting up of a new campaign, SEOmoz pro says I have a duplicate page content issue.
It says the follwoing are duplicates:
and
http://www.mysite.com/index.htm
This is obviously true, but is it a problem? Do I need to do anything to avoid a google penalty?
The site in question is a static html site and the real page only exsists at http://www.mysite.com/index.htm but if you type in just the domain name then that brings up the same page.
Please let me know what if anything I need to do. This site by the way, has had a panda 3.4 penalty a few months ago.
Thanks,
Colin

i'm guessing it says 301 and canonical all variations to the one you want to represent your homepage
