      Hello ,

      I am working on a site, I am facing the duplicate title and content errors,
      there are following kind of errors :

      1- A link with www and without www having same content.

      actually its a apartment management site, so it has different bedrooms apartments and booking pages ,

      2- my second issue is related to booking and details pages of bedrooms, because I am using 1 file for all booking and 1 file for all details page.

      these are the main errors which i am facing ,
      can anyone give me suggestions regarding these issues ?

      Thnaks,

        Hi KLLC,

        It is really important that your titles, metas, urls be unique and consistent. We were really careful with this. http://www.posicionamientowebenbuscadores.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/04/SEOoptimized.jpg

        You need to try and accomplish consistency and keyword focus.

        Onsite optimization is 30% of the battle...

          As to #1, set your preferred domain in webmaster tools to either the WWW or without WWW version. Then set 301 redirects from the other to your preferred. This way you won't run into any issues of the bots seeing them as two different pages with duplicate content issues when they're really the same page.

            For #1, you should choose whether you want www or non-www, not both.  Set up a 301 redirect so that search engines don't confuse your the two and think you have duplicate content.

            If you are running an Apache server, you can use this .htaccess 301 redirect to only have a non-www version of your site (entering www will redirect to the same page without www.)

            RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.(.)$ [NC]
            RewriteRule ^(.
            )$ http://%1/$1 [R=301,L]

              Hi there, Mike and Bradley have given you solid advice on how to correct your first issue. Would you mind sharing a few more details about the nature of your second issue by posting it as a new, separate question? Thanks so much!
