      Hello,

      I'd like to redirect all versions of my homepage to www.inthelighturns.com so I force Google to see only one page. Is the below rewrites all I need?

      rewritecond %{http_host} ^inthelighturns.com [nc]rewriterule ^(.*)$ http://www.inthelighturns.com/$1 [r=301,nc]

      RewriteRule ^index.(htm|html) http://www.inthelighturns.com/ [R=301,L]RewriteRule ^(.*)/index.(htm|html) http://www.inthelighturns.com/$1/ [R=301,L]

      Thanks

      Tyler

        Not sure what your site structure is like but perhaps you want to add some lines for index.php?

        rewritecond %{http_host} ^inthelighturns.com [nc]
        rewriterule ^(.)$ http://www.inthelighturns.com/$1 [r=301,nc]
        RewriteRule ^index.(htm|html) http://www.inthelighturns.com/ [R=301,L]
        RewriteRule ^(.
        )/index.(htm|html) http://www.inthelighturns.com/$1/... [R=301,L]
        RewriteRule ^index.(php) http://www.inthelighturns.com/ [R=301,L]
        RewriteRule ^(.*)/index.(php) http://www.inthelighturns.com/$1/... [R=301,L]

        • I am using All-in-One-seo. I change the title and meta description on the home page, but it is not showing up on the search. It is on the source code. When I change other pages, the both show up in the search, just not the home page. Any idea why?.
