Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Than you will need to make a 301 redirection to solve the problem. You will need to edit your  .htaccess file. You will find it at you public_html fold. If it doesnt exist, create one.

Inside this file you in write the follow:

RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^web-writer-articles.co.uk RewriteRule (.*) http://www.web-writer-articles.co.uk/$1 [R=301,L]

Problem solved and google will not more complain.

Hello Shelly, me again...

I used this list to work with my blog: http://www.toprankblog.com/rss-blog-directories/

There is also the problem with http://www.example.com and http:/example.com - they also generate duplicate content.

What you should do?

First - solve the http://www.example vs http://example issue
Edit your .htaccess file (if you don't have it, create one). Inside this file you need to input:

RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example.com RewriteRule (.*) http://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]
(where example.com is your website

Second - solve the index.html duplicate content

You need to include in the index.html file the follow metag inside the section:

This tag will tell google to forget the index.html and focus at www.example.com. So you will avoid the duplicate content without any problem

I hope I could help you.

I was with the same difficult - what is key word stuffing for google? And I didn't found a black and white answer. There is a lot of "i think", and with this answer you will need to create your "i think".

First, there was in Q&A a very good answer for that from Ryan Kent, you will fount it here: http://www.seomoz.org/q/stuffing-keywords-into-urls

Second, you should use the schema.org to define more detailed your website. So, if work with products, you can define via schema your product name, description and so on. This might be not considered in keyword stuffing for google.

Third, use your judment. Its always the best solution.

Fourth, if you find the answer, please let me know....

Yes, you will have a duplication issue. You can work with both, but you will need to use the rel cannonical.

There is an post i think it will be perfect for you. There you will find several tests with videos. It well detailed and will solve all your questions

For SEO the 301 is the best and simple solution

Dear Serge,

Your question is difficulty to answer, because you have several possibilities. If you use the noindex, will stop all the robots.

There is a post at SEOMoz blog writed by Lindsay that i think will answer your question. You will find it here: http://www.seomoz.org/blog/robot-access-indexation-restriction-techniques-avoiding-conflicts

In my opinion, you should work your keyword in one of your strong products and use the other products to focus in the long tail. You will have a more deep presence at google.

You only need a robot file at your main directory and it is used for the whole website.

If you want to have more info's about robots.txt, there is an very good post from Lindsay: http://www.seomoz.org/blog/robot-access-indexation-restriction-techniques-avoiding-conflicts

With this I think it will be easier for you to go pro in robots files. Good luck!

I don't know if I understood coorrectely, but I think the follow:

Redirect example.com to www.example.com RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example.com RewriteRule (.*) http://www.example.com/$1 [R=301,L]

Redirect especific page redirect 301 /old.html http://www.example.com/new.html

I holpe this is what you are looking for...

Hi Brendan,

You are luck: there is no need to be absolute, you can use the relative link.

You can confirm this at: http://support.google.com/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=139394

The best way is the Chrome extension "Google Eyes". With this extension you can see as a boot.You will find it here: https://chrome.google.com/webstore/detail/nnfbmlcnheohiajjmloocbaclnpdhfdp

Hy Samuel,

In this case one good option is to use the metatag rel cannonical. Do you know this? You will need to input in the page, inside the section the follow:

where example.com/index.html is the page that you want google consider. With this google will no more consider duplicate content for your other pages.

To have more detailed info, check this post out: http://www.seomoz.org/blog/robot-access-indexation-restriction-techniques-avoiding-conflicts

If you don't have an robot.txt file, you need to include some important stuff first.

First, do you have a sitemap.xlm for your website? If not, its very important and you should creat it at: http://www.xml-sitemaps.com/

Create a robot.txt file and include the follow:

User-agent: * allow: / disallow: /directoryname
Sitemap: http://www.yousite.com/sitemap.xml

With this you will inform all robots where is your sitemap. You should read more about robots.txt in this great post: http://www.seomoz.org/blog/robot-access-indexation-restriction-techniques-avoiding-conflicts

For you I see no problem leaving the links without nofollow. I hope I could help.

Best Regards,

Naghirniac

This is a very important point, because google change a lot how they threat the nofollow links, and some people stay with old premisses.

The nofollow links lose the benefit of the link juice. In my opinion, for you website, there is no problem to use links without the nofollow.

Hi James,

I made some research, and there is several solutions, some depends on your Apache version. Try the rule above to see if it solve your problem:

RedirectMatch permanent /.* http://www.newdomain.com/

If not, you should take a look at http://stackoverflow.com/ The website has a lot of discussion on this theme.
