Duplicate content Issue

[dbaxa-261338]

I'm getting a report of duplicate title and content on:

http://www.website.com/

http://www.website.com/index.php

Of course, they're the same pages but does this need to be corrected somehow.

Thanks!

2 ways to correct canonicalization

• 301 Redirect

Access your.htaccess file and add this line:

redirect 301 /index.php http://www.website.com

• Rel Canonical

It depends which CMS you are using, you can add this to the "homepage" source code

In your case you should use a 301 redirect

Great post to read here to understand the usage: http://www.seomoz.org/blog/301-redirect-or-relcanonical-which-one-should-you-use

Hi David,

Were you able to get this duplicate taken care of, or do you still need a hand? The real URL would be great, but also just telling us if the site is using Wordpress or another CMS and if it's on Apache or IIS would be helpful.
