Hi Ramesh,
Being able to access your website using the IP address is very common and there is nothing that you should be worried about in this regard. It happens when you are hosting your site on a dedicated IP. This won't be the case if you go for a shared hosting where the IP address would be shared among other websites.
Best,

Hi Ramesh,
Chris is absolutely right there's no way your IP address is creating content
Your site is accessible through using DNS domain name servers your IP address is translated by a computer DNS server into something that you can remember like example.com instead of 123.488.91.00
It has no way of creating duplicate content
Regardless you do want to use a
Tags for every valid webpage that you want to show up in Google search engine.

Ramesh,
It's not a problem that you site opens when you type in the IP address--that's normal.

Hello,
You can add the next lines to your .htaccess to overcome the duplicate content on Serach Engines.
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^domain.com [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^82.223.246.132
RewriteRule (.*) http://www.domain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^.*/index.html
RewriteRule ^(.*)index.php$ http://www.domain.com/$1 [R=301,L]
This is for auto WWW, auto redirect from www.domain.com/index.php[or]index.html to www.domain.com
I hope this helped you!

Should I canonicalize URLs with no query params even though query params are always automatically appended?
There's a section of my client's website that presents quarterly government financial data. Users can filter results to see different years and quarters of financial info. If a user navigates to those pages, the URLs automatically append the latest query parameters. It's not a redirect...when I asked a developer what the mechanism was for this happening, he said "magic." He honestly didn't know how to describe it. So my question is, is it ok to canonicalize the URL without any query parameters, knowing that the user will always be served a page that does have query parameters? I need to figure out how to manage all of the various versions of these URLs.

Re: Auto Detection of Currency based on IP & Google SEO
Greetings to the fellow Moz community members! On an e-commerce site, I am using a script to change the default currency of storefront based on IP detection ( GBP for UK visitors, CAD for Canadian visitors and so on). My question is : can this create any problems at all in Google Crawling or Indexing? Will google be able to understand the setup? I don't think this should trigger the "cloaking" or presenting different content to search engines vs users, but just want to double check from the collective wisdom here. Thanks for reading, and wish you a good day ahead. Warm Regards Amit

Http & https canonicalization issues
Howdyho I'm SEOing a daily deals site that mostly runs on https Versions. (only the home page is on http). I'm wondering what to do for canonicalization. IMO it would be easiest to run all pages on https. But the scarce resources I find are not so clear. For instance, this Youmoz blog post claims that https is only for humans, not for bots! That doesn't really apply anymore, right?

Redirecting Root domain to subdirectory by IP addresses (country specific)
We are using Wordpress Multisite. so www.mysite.com is our English website and www.mysite.com/sub is our Chinese website Can I redirect Chinese visitors who type "www.mysite.com" to "www.mysite.com/sub" ? so we want to force redirection to www.mysite.com/sub if our website is visited by Chinese IP Address. I've realized that this is called GeoIP Redirection. and our hosting company already has those database, I guess my job is just to simply insert some code in .htacess My question is, would it affect our SEO later on? and what .htacess code is the best practice here?

Canonicalization
Having been a member of SEOmoz Pro tools for only a couple of months, I'm now at a point where there are certain issues with our recently overhauled site: On my latest "Open Site Explorer Report" I am seeing a number of external links going to the HTTP://Domainname.com and a number pointing at HTTP://wwwDomainname.com. This only appears when I pull the report from the Root Domain. If I pull a report from the Sub-domain all URL's are the same. Does this matter too much? Would best practice be to put a rel=canonical on the Non www ? Thanks for any help in advance Sean
