      i type is a clients site and BOOM...it suddenly ends with "index2.php"  who will link to that?

      I can't seem to make it not appear...according the template creator...

      Is this "index2.php" affecting my link juice?

        To be honest your clients home page should not be on a index2.php, even with a 301 re direct in place full anchor text value is not passed on.

        you could also run into multiple page issues, I would implement a canonical tag too once the problem is fixed.

        Further more just have the home page run off "www.domainname.com"

            I don't think having index2.php as the main loading page is a huge issue, I've seen heaps of sites with high PR and they 301 to longer urls eg: www.url.com/page-1?.aspx or something along those lines.

            But it is a good idea not to use index2.php, just check the htaccess. you will find a line or 2 with 301 redirect to index2.php.

              I agree, also added if its not in the HT ACCESS then have a look in the cpanel. Some cpanel hosting allows you to redirect within the panel. Can cause a bit of a headache if you arent aware of it and are looking somewhere else.
