      I currently have a website set up so that http://www.example.net/ redirects to http://www.example.net but **http://www.example.net/ **has more links and a higher page authority. Should I switch the redirect around? Here's the Open Site Explorer metrics for both:

      http://www.example.net/

      • Domain Authority: 38/100
      • Page Authority: 48/100
      • Linking Root Domains: 112
      • Total Links: 235

      http://www.example.net

      • Domain Authority: 38/100
      • Page Authority: 45/100
      • Linking Root Domains: 18
      • Total Links: 39

        If your redirect is a 301 there is no need to change anything. The linkjuice will be passed through...

        To be formal correct and clean up the things a little bit, it would be better if you make a 301 from http://example.net to http://example.net/

        • Something happened within the last 2 weeks on our WordPress-hosted site that created "duplicates" by counting www.company.com/example and company.com/example (without the 'www.') as separate pages. Any idea what could have happened, and how to fix it?

        • I've got duplicate pages. For example, blog/page/2 is the same as author/admin/page/2\. Is this something I should just ignore, or should I create the author/admin/page2 and then 301 redirect?
