Welcome to the Q&A Forum

We currently are using blogengine.net 1.6 and it's proving to be an SEO nightmare, with link loops causing infinite "duplicate content". I am trying to find the best blog solution as far as ease of use, clean content and good SEO.

What do you use? What do you suggest?

Thanks!

I just recieved a error notification because our website is both http and https. http://www.quicklearn.com & https://www.quicklearn.com.

My tech tells me that this isn't actually a problem? Is that true? If not, how can I address the duplicate content issue?

I am having a problem with duplicate content with my log in page

What is the best way to handle it? Add a couple sentences to each page to make it unique? Use a rel canonical, or a no index no follow or something completely different?

Your help is greatly appreciated!

My research on seomoz has resulted in conflicting ideas regarding the canonical tag. One article says avoid it, the other says embrace it.

We have fixed a majority of our architecture problems using redirects for duplicate content, however, when we send out newsletters we still have these pesky tracking ids. I figured out how to remove them from analytics, but am unsure of how this affects our SEO. An example of one of our links is: https://www.quicklearn.com/transcript/?utm_source=news101011&utm_medium=e&utm_campaign=newclass&nlid=news101011&UID=2287

The original url being www.quicklearn.com/transcript/ the custom (non-Google) variables being nlid and uid.

Is this a problem? Do I need rel cononical tags on each and every page?

Do you know if google recognizes bing's query strings: http://advertising.microsoft.com/small-business/product-help/adcenter/topic?query=MOONSHOT_PROC_QueryStrings.htm

I am trying to tag my bing cpc in GA using the URL builder tool: http://www.google.com/support/analytics/bin/answer.py?answer=55578

It is incredibly tedious, and in order to get to the level of adwords, I have to create a unique URL for each keyword! Ahh, please tell me there is a better way!

Help me to understand if I did this correctly, and what the fastest solution is ok ?

1.) We used rel=canonical on the http://www.quicklearn.com/default.aspx to eliminate a duplicate content issue. Google should index http://www.quicklearn.com. Google Analytics still shows /default.aspx as top though.

2.) All our subcategory pages have the same type of the thing. /default (etc)

[ http://www.quicklearn.com/biztalk-training/default.aspx  --- http://www.quicklearn.com/biztalk-training/ ]

--->Can we use ISAPI? to fix this issue?

Do the /default pages (extra version) hurt us in indexing and Page rank?

Google analytics shows me that this:  http://www.quicklearn.com/default.aspx is my "top content page"

This page doesn't redirect to my root domain:  http://www.quicklearn.com

IT tells me that "/default.aspx" can not redirect to my domain. I am told: "You can only redirect deeper into the site."

We have had an ongoing issue with duplicate content (that we are in the process of correcting).

Anyone with experience in redirecting that can help? Any advice welcome
