      In the last crawl for on of our client websites the duplicate page title and page content numbers were very high. They are reading every page twice.

      http://www.barefootparadisevacations.com

      and

      http://barefootparadisevacations.com

      are being read as two different pages with the same page title.

      After the last crawl I used our built in redirect tool to redirect the urls, but the most recent crawl showed the same issue.

      Is this issue really hurting our rankings and if so, any suggestions on a fix for the problem?

      Thank you!

          Having both www and non-www versions of your site accessible is definitely a duplicate content issue, as Google looks at those as different sites. If you have access to your .htaccess file, here is the code you want to add:

          Options +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
          RewriteEngine on
          rewritecond %{http_host} ^barefootparadisevacations.com [nc]
          rewriterule ^(.*)$ http://www.barefootparadisevacations.com/$1 [r=301,nc]

          This will redirect non-www versions of your site to www.
