Welcome to the Q&A Forum

My UK rankings are also all over the place.  I cannot use SEOmoz reports for clients at the moment, it is very annoying.  I had this problem a few months ago and then it was resolved, but the last two months reports have been incorrect for quite a few keywords.

Our UK rankings reports are all incorrect this week as well.

A client has a url which is duplicated by filters on the page, for example: -

http://www.example.co.uk/Home/example.aspx

is duplicated by

http://www.example.co.uk/Home/example.aspx?filter=3

The client is moving to a new website later this year and is using an out-of-date Kentico CMS which would need some development doing to it in order to enable implementation of rel canonical tags in the header, I don't have access to the server and they have to pay through the nose everytime they want the slightest thing altering.

I am trying to resolve this duplicate content issue though and am wondering what is the best way to resolve it in the short term.  The client is happy to remove the filter links from the page but that still leaves the filter urls in Google.  I am concerned that a 301 redirect will cause a loop and don't understand the behaviour of this type of code enough.

I hope this makes sense, any advice appreciated.

We have been asked to look at a website and have found a 301 redirect from the domain www.domain.com to www.domain.com/home.aspx.  Why would someone do this, this way round?  We can't think of a good reason and are wondering if we have overlooked something?

Thanks for your help.

Thank you for your help, will have a look at these links.

I'm trying to work out the best way to resolve an issue where Google is seeing duplicate versions of a homepage, i.e. http://www.home.co.uk/Home.aspx and http://www.home.co.uk/

The site runs on Windows servers.

I've tried implementing redirects for homepages before (for a different site on a linux server) and ended up with a loop, so although I know I can read lots of info (as I have been doing) and try again, I am really concerned about getting it wrong.

Can anyone give me some advice on the best way to make Google take just one version of the page?  Obviously link juice is also being diluted so I need to get this sorted asap.

Thanks.
