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?

Wow some great answers.

Thankyou.

Im in such a predicament now,I intended to keep the content and have a local section on the site with local events and local forum etc, thus also retaining a community around.

The anchor text i was going to build during the non-business phase was placename.

And as i want to build the new business as a brand its new anchor text would also be placename.

I am eventually wanting to pursue seoplacename, but i do have a lot of learning & practice to do yet (1-2 years) so, I wanted to build a "site age" to go with the 20 year domain registered age(is this relevant to rankings?).

Or would i be left with the wrong type of community...

I have been advised to take a particular path with my domain, to me it seems "black hat" but ill ask the experts:

Is it acceptable when one owns an exact match location domain eg london.com, to run as a tourist information site, gathering links from wikipedia,bbc,local paper/radio/sports websites etc, then after 6 - 12 months, switch the content to a business site?

What could the penalties be?

Please advise...

Thanks,

Do you know of any popular/done-right directories , directories to me seem a little drab and uninteresting...

klsdnflksdnvl

thanks for your input

klsdnflksdnvl

Yes thats great thanks, ill optimize my other pages for responsive & wordpress design.

Any input on the second question please?

Hi, couple of easy questions for you guys...

Im a web designer and my #1 keyword is web design huddersfield.

I own the domain huddersfield.com,

and i will have a page titled web design.

Now do i target the web design page or the index page as i don't want keyword cannibalization, but is it better for my index page to be the landing page?

#2 Considering that huddersfield.com is my domain should i set the title to:

web design huddersfield or just

web design?

please help.
