Best way to handle duplicate title on Home page?

[ElykInnovation]

Moz reports two links to the same Home page ad duplicate titles ...

http://myhjhome.com/index.php
http://myhjhome.com

I'm not sure if I should just 301 redirect http://myhjhome.com/index.php to http://myhjhome.com, or if there is a better way to handle that?

Or should I comb the website and make sure all links to the Home page dont include index.php?

Just looking for some extra help here, learning as I'm going, thanks!!

i took the 301 route and will wait for the next crawl to see if it fixed the duplicate titles, thanks for the info!it's a wordpress

website that i inherited, hence the unfriendly URLs, which I'll be getting to.

It has a simple solution Just Redirect your .index page to the Homepage. It will resolve your Problem without any more Issue.

Thanks

Hi Joseph,

There are a few potential reasons for this. How have you built your website? Joomla? Wordpress?

Hey, no problem. The simple answer is to 301 re-direct your http://myhjhome.com/index.php to http://myhjhome.com. No need to comb your website, I've checked and there's no others

Also, I noticed that some of your URLs, especially your blog posts, aren't search engine friendly, so I would make them so. For example: http://myhjhome.com/blog/?p=16 (Grand Opening..) should, at least, include the title of the blog post as the URL.

Hope this helps & good luck

Tony
