      What are some best practices or tips for handling duplicate content issues for sites built on ASP.NET Web Forms?

      One duplicate content issue I see all the time is www.xyz.com/pages/ and www.xyz.com/pages/Default.aspx. While I'm able to canonicalize the www and non-www version of the domain in the web config file I'm not sure what the best way is to remove or keep the default.aspx from being indexed.

      I know we can specify certain parameters for the search engines to ignore but isn't it better to have this done on the server side?
