Welcome to the Q&A Forum

But don't forget to remove that Disallow out of Robots.txt when you go live - if you want those pages to be indexed (and also the Meta-robots noindex nofollow). Otherwise you might be pulling your hair out trying to figure out why none of your pages are getting indexed in the SERPs.

If you mean do we have reporters contacting players/coaches/etc, no. However, when you search 'chicago bears news' only the first 4 are legitimate sources of information (newspapers and official Bears website). Everything that follows is just sites which aggregate all the newest articles by the top 4 sites. Since we report the newest developments as well via our forums, twitter account, and tumblr page, I don't see anything dishonest about saying that we are a source of information for Bears fans.

Good point, Marcin. I'm not using those mods as it seems Google indexes my pages fine. Thanks for the advice.

Thanks a lot. I'll try and make the modifications and post the results when I have them.

There is a basic SEO rule: content should only be available via a single URL on your website. There are some legitimate reasons to break that rule. If that happens, you need to take additional action such as use the canonical tag to identify the primary page. Your home page situation is NOT a legitimate reason to break that rule. It's poor web design. It needs to be fixed. OSE is doing its job correctly. OSE is calling your attention to a SEO issue which requires your attention. SOLUTION: Remove all references to the /index.php page on your site and replace them with the / page. Also add a 301 redirect from the index.php page to the / page so anyone who bookmarked or linked to the /index.php page is seamlessly taken to your home page.
