      I'm seeing a duplicate title for the home page, both the static file name and the domain. like:

      http://domain.com
      http://domain.com/index.cfm

      I know how to set this in Google Analytics but how would I make sure this isn't seen as an error? It's accounting for both a duplicate title and duplicate content.

      Thanks!

        Assuming that you fear that Google might see this as potential DC: don't worry. I know plenty of sites that have this problem due to their CMS. Google can almost certainly figure that these are the same pages. domain.tld/ domain.tld/index.html domain.tld/index.cfm etc. What you might want to do is to use rel canonical to point index.cfm to / (or vice versa, i would use / though.)
