Pages with Duplicate Page Content (with and without www)

[directiq]

How can we resolve pages with duplicate page content? With and without www?
Thanks in advance.

Hi there

Choose if you want the site to be www. or non www. From there, redirect the other to it's counterpart, depending on which you choose.

Make sure you utilize canonical tags with the proper URL structure, update your sitemap, set your preferred domain, check your internal links, and update your backlinks so you can get the full benefit.

From there, submit your sitemap to Google and Bing.

Hope this helps! Good luck!

If it's that you have both www & non-www versions of your site, you need to do this through the .htaccess file. Have a look at this page for some info on how to create a bit of code to add in there. This link is assuming you want the www version of the site to be the one you use.
