On Page Ranking Tool Giving Weird Reports

[Virage]

My on page ranking tool is giving two entirely different reports for my website - I get one report for my domain name and a different report for the index.html even though essentially both of those pages are...well...the same.

Not sure what's going on, hoping it's not an indication of a more serious issue?

I appreciate any help!

If you're getting the 2 different reports for the same Keyword against domain.com and domain.com/index.html then it's very likely that it's an issue from your site and not from the software:

Even though domain.com and domain.com/index.html are the same page to you and I, Google treats them as separate documents. To make matters worst, you might even get penalized for duplicate content when both those pages get indexed, so you need to take one of these actions:

• Do a 301 redirect from domain.com/index.html to domain.com
• Use the canonical tag on the _index.html _page to point at domain.com

Hope this helps,
