Home page url 301 redirect suggestion

[Modi]

Hello,

In our site we have already done 301 redirect from http://  to http://www.

However, the home page links are still coming in 2 ways

http://www.mycarhelpline.com/

http://www.mycarhelpline.com/index.php?option=com_newcar&view=search&Itemid=2

Need suggestion

We have already use rel canonical

is another 301 redirect to be used for maintaining the home page pr from seo point of view. Does google still takes both urls as separate url and finds duplicate content

Hi,

Please check It is open with  www version which you have 301 redirect. It takes some tomes but now it is open only with www. You can also set this version in web-master also. Set preferred location so Google displays only this version.
