      I've noticed recently that within the Moz Crawl Report I keep seeing duplicate content for one of our pages that pulls from a default document.  The pages are product pages, one ending in releases/ and the other ending in releases/index and are both identical pages.  Normally in these situations I would prefer to make sure that every link is being sent to the releases/ page, however according to Moz, the releases/index page is actually ranking better and has a higher internal link count.  Can someone advise me on the best way to deal with this situation? Hopefully I've explained myself well enough!

      Thanks

      Sam

        Hi, I'm also dealing with duplicate content and searching for a proper solution. have you tried to use a canonical url for this issue? If only the url is different /releases/ v.s. /releases/index a canonical can help. Put this in the head

        here is more about duplicate content: http://moz.com/learn/seo/duplicate-content
