301 Redirect from .html

[finelinewebsolutions]

Hi there,

Following on from this post:
http://moz.com/community/q/help-with-duplicated-content

Please could one confirm that using the following code in our htaccess file will stop the duplicated content issue we are having.

RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /([^.]+.)+html?\ HTTP
RewriteRule (.+).html?$ http://www.bereavementstationery.co.uk/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME}.html -f
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ $1.html

Kind Regards

Alec

If I understood correctly you changed all your urls from ending with .html to ending with /

Please confirm you previously had the following urls:
http://www.domain.com/somepage.html

and now you have:
http://www.domain.com/somepage.html

If the above is correct the code I use to do the redirects is:

RewriteEngine On
RewriteRule (.+).html$ /$1/ [L,R]
