      What page is attached to http://freightmonster.com/ if it is not the index.html ?

      Should I do a redirect from the index page to something more descriptive?

        Hi Steven,

        The quickest way to fix it is to just put a canonical tag on the index.html page pointing to the root.

        Or if you are comfortable changing htaccess files (and your CMS allows you) you can redirect it back into the root.
