      Hello,

      I am getting Duplicate Content warning from SEOMoz for my home page:

      http://www.teacherprose.com

      http://www.teacherprose.com/index html

      I tried code below in .htaccess:

      redirect 301 /index.html http://www.teacherprose.com

      This caused error "too many re-directs" in browser

      Any thoughts?

      Thank You,

      Eric

          Wissam,

          Thanks for response. I'm using Dreamweaver CS4 with a Godaddy shared hosting account. Do you mean to insert code above into .htaccess or into page code?

          Thank You,

          Eric

                  Wissam,

                  Code worked in teacherprose.com but not in federalprose.com. Not sure why this is true.

                  Thanks,

                  Eric

                    Eric,

                    I found out also that you didnt choose what canonical version you want for your website.

                    means that ur site can be accessed threw www version and non-www version

                    in order to fix that

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

                    place it under rewriteengine on .

                    I just checked federalprose and its working
