Godaddy 301 redirect

Hi,

Happy Holidays to all!  Although, this is not Thanksgiving, I am very thankful for becoming a member of this site.  I ahve learned so much.

Here is yet another question hping to have answered by the pundits of this SEOMOZ:

I have a site built on site builder and hosted on Yahoo Hosting which does not allow 301 Redirects; I was fortunate enough to have someone help opn this site explain to me how to use Godaddy (they are my domain provide) to 301 through forwarding, work great!

My http://domain.com now directs to www.domain.com , the only problem I am having now is, on :sitebuilder" the index page is classified as index.html, thus providing duplicate content again.  Can you do two redirects through Godaddy?  In othert words, my http://domain.com/ goes to www.domain.com/ eliminating duplicent content, but now I have another URL - http:..domain.com/index.html how do i get rid of that to prevent dup content.

Any feed back would be great, Happy Holidays!

Jimmy

Hi Jimmy,

If I am understanding your question correctly, a good resource is to call the GoDaddy tech support and they can walk you through the steps.  My advice would be to consider these steps:

Assuming you are logged in..

New Redirect

FROM:

Domain:  www.domain.com/

Path:  /index.html

With or without www.prefix

TO:

Prefix:  http

Domain:  www.domain.com/

I would confirm this with GoDaddy, so you ensure it doesn't create an infinite loop, but this should allow you to accomplish your goal.  They are fairly good at a walkthrough and are available 24/7 at (480) 505-8877

Cheers.
