The crawl diagnosis indicated that my domain www.mydomain.com is duplicate with www.mydomain.com/index.php. How can I correct this issue?
Please Look here http://support.google.com/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=139394 You can specify a canonical URL in two ways: Add a rel="canonical" link to the section of the non-canonical version of each HTML page. To specify a canonical link to the page http://www.example.com/product.php?item=swedish-fish, create a element as follows: Copy this link into the section of all non-canonical versions of the page, such as http://www.example.com/product.php?item=swedish-fish&sort=price. If you publish content on both http://www.example.com/product.php?item=swedish-fish and https://www.example.com/product.php?item=swedish-fish, you can specify the canonical version of the page. Create the element: Add this link to the section of https://www.example.com/product.php?item=swedish-fish. Indicate the canonical version of a URL by responding with the Link rel="canonical" HTTP header. Addingrel="canonical" to the head section of a page is useful for HTML content, but it can't be used for PDFs and other file types indexed by Google Web Search. In these cases you can indicate a canonical URL by responding with the Link rel="canonical" HTTP header, like this (note that to use this option, you'll need to be able to configure your server):``` Link: <http: www.example.com="" downloads="" white-paper.pdf="">; rel="canonical"</http:> Google currently supports these link header elements for Web Search only.

Can you expound why i have to avoid using meta keywords?
"Bing looks at meta keywords as a spam signal and not a ranking signal." That's something I hand't heard before. Great. I haven't been inserting keywords for a long time, after hearing that they were no help for SEO. However, in the beginning we were using them on some pages. We have several hundred pages on our WordPress site. I guess I will have to go look for a plugin to remove them. Can anyone recommend one for that purpose? We're built on Thesis (I'm sorry to say, now) which doesn't play well with a lot of the mainstream SEO plugins like the one from Yoast. Thanks, Tim
