Index.php duplicate content
-
Hi, new here.
Im looking for some help with htaccess file.
index.php is showing duplicate content errors with:
ive managed to use the following code to remove the www part of the url:
IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteCond %{HTTPS} !=on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.(.+)$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^ http://%1%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L]but how can i redirect the mysite.com/index.php and mysite.com/ to mysite.com.
Please help

Once your trial runs out, you won't be able to respond, but at least you'll still be able to see my answer!
I think you can use the .htaccess file redirect command:
Redirect 301 /location/from/root/file.ext http://www.othersite.com/new/file/location.xyz
So, it should be:
Redirect 301 /index.php http://mysite.com
Redirect 301 / http://mysite.com
If that doesn't work, here's someone with the same problem on StackExchange.
P.S. Glad you like the Distilled course.

Hi Kristina,
No unfortunately my question was misunderstood.
It wasn't the file extension i was looking to hide.
I was looking to redirect mysite.com/index.php to mysite.com/ or mysite.com via an htaccess file.
Im currently working through distilled's online course (nice course btw) , I was hoping to get an answer here :http://www.distilled.net/u/technical/#technical-duplicate-content, (Homepage Canonicalization), but i couldnt find one
This is not a critical question, as im just tinkering around on friends sites, but i would like to learn this.
Unfortunately my free seomoz trial runs out today and im waiting until I have completed distilled's course's before i renew my moz subscription, so i can make better use of moz tools, so i may not be able to see your reply.
Is it cool to tweet @ you?

Hey David,
Just wanted to follow up with you on this - did TextMarketing's method work?

Duplicate content and 404 errors
I apologize in advance, but I am an SEO novice and my understanding of code is very limited. Moz has issued a lot (several hundred) of duplicate content and 404 error flags on the ecommerce site my company takes care of. For the duplicate content, some of the pages it says are duplicates don't even seem similar to me. additionally, a lot of them are static pages we embed images of size charts that we use as popups on item pages. it says these issues are high priority but how bad is this? Is this just an issue because if a page has similar content the engine spider won't know which one to index? also, what is the best way to handle these urls bringing back 404 errors? I should probably have a developer look at these issues but I wanted to ask the extremely knowledgeable Moz community before I do 🙂

Duplicate content question...
I have a high duplicate content issue on my website. However, I'm not sure how to handle or fix this issue. I have 2 different URLs landing to the same page content. http://www.myfitstation.com/tag/vegan/ and http://www.myfitstation.com/tag/raw-food/ .In this situation, I cannot redirect one URL to the other since in the future I will probably be adding additional posts to either the "vegan" tag or the "raw food tag". What is the solution in this case? Thank you

404's and duplicate content.
I have real estate based websites that add new pages when new listings are added to the market and then deletes pages when the property is sold. My concern is that there are a significant amount of 404's created and the listing pages that are added are going to be the same as others in my market who use the same IDX provider. I can go with a different IDX provider that uses IFrame which doesn't create new pages but I used a IFrame before and my time on site was 3min w/ 2.5 pgs per visit and now it's 7.5 pg/visit with 6+min on the site. The new pages create new content daily so is fresh content and better on site metrics (with the 404's) better or less 404's, no dup content and shorter onsite metrics better? Any thoughts on this issue? Any advice would be appreciated

De-indexing thin content & Panda--any advantage to immediate de-indexing?
We added the nonidex, follow tag to our site about a week ago on several hundred URLs, and they are still in Google's index. I know de-indexing takes time, but I am wondering if having those URLs in the index will continue to "pandalize" the site. Would it be better to use the URL removal request? Or, should we just wait for the noindex tags to remove the URLs from the index?

Is this considered as duplicate content?
One of my clients has a template page they have used repeatedly each time they have a new news item. The template includes a two-paragraph customer quote/testimonial for the company. So, they now have 100+ pages with the same customer quote. The rest of the page content / body copy is unique. Is there any likelihood of this being considered duplicate content?
