Thank you champion! :PS the Lion is Epic Justin Smith

Thank you very much friend! Yes it is an Ecommerce site, and I did not actually have a hand in creating it. It was kind of put in my lap after it had been out for a few months and I was told to make it look pretty. Thank you for the tips I truly appreciate it.

There is also the possibility that the initial boost you get from your techniques will result in high visibility for your site which means you will get legitimate links from other domains that will build your rep so that if Google ever bothers to drop the value of your black hat links to nothing you still have plenty of authority from real links. There is also the possibility, even though Google would of course deny it, that if you are also spending tens of thousands of dollars a month on Adwords that they will overlook any bad stuff you do and you will never suffer. Just speaking from experience - watching another company.

I tried multiple configurations of what you said with replacing ##caturl## but I think I botched it in the end, if you could help me a bit more.

Thank you so much for the feedback.

I was afraid it would be in the technical area instead of a magical button solving my problems. I'm not exactly sure how I am doing the redirect, however I do believe it is ASP so I will give it a try. Thanks for the Answer!

Hey Justin, Basically the bots follow the links so it might follow example.com and example.com/index.html once it get to your actual page it then reads the canonical tag which indicates which version is the correct version to use. Hope that helps
