How to remove /index.html that causes duplicated content

Hi,
How to remove /index.html that causes duplicated content?
From my website navigation links, it does not shows the /index.html.However, when I run the seomoz crawl errors, it show duplicated content.
Can anyone tell me how to do it?

Well for a 301 redirect you can add the redirect to your .htaccess file. However I have never used Xsitepro to build a site but I assume you have access to the code behind the pages in which case you can place a canonical tag in the header of your index.html instead of the 301 redirect.
See this link on duplicate content and an explanation of the canonical tag is in there -

Hi Matt,
If I am using Xsitepro to do my site, is there any way to solve it from there?
Or do I have to add some codes to the .htacess file? -

Inbound Links/Spam Score - Disavow
Hi I have been using the Links tool in our Pro account on Moz, using the MOZ spam score/inbound links tool I can identify the linking domains and their spam rating. It shows we currently have around 4.8k linking domains and when I export the data I receive information like below. (Name - Spam Score)

6vh.info 93% These sites are linking to our images on the site and also to the product the image is from. 80% of our links are like these ones above I understand these types of links are quite common especially for e commerce sites but should I disavow these on a regular basis or ignore them? I don’t want to ignore them if they could harm us. Thanks Mike0 -

Hey people, I just subscribed for Moz Content and I am wondering how are other professionals using it as a strategy tool. Today I just released a blog post talking about how larger content impacts PA. Not a big deal. I would appreciate some ideas and insights.

Finding Related Keywords and/or Phrases
I'm diving into unknown territory and looking for keywords and phrases related to a prospective new clients business. He knows some of the general terms, for example, water removal. What tool works best to find related search terms and the number of searches for those keywords/search terms. I usually use the Google Keyword Tool but going to give moz a try. Love to be able to get local search data as well. Thanks!

Rankings reporting showing inaccurate improve/decline/unchanged numbers
Our rankings report is showing inaccurate numbers for the improved, declined, and unchanged summary, both in the email and on the site. According to the added up numbers, we have 315 keywords in the campaign, but that's not possible as we only have 172 set up for it. The total for this section is correct, it just doesn't add up.

Did Profiles on SEOmoz get de-indexed?
Hi fellow mozzers My profile page on SEOmoz has always ranked well for my full name "Jacob Eeckhout". Recently I noticed that it doesn't show anymore, even for the query site:seomoz.org "jacob eeckhout". Does anyone know what happened?

Should I worry about duplicate content errors caused by backslashes?
Frequently we get red-flagged for duplicate content in the MozPro Crawl Diagnostics for URLs with and without a backslash at the end. For example: www.example.com/ gets flagged as being a duplicate of www.example.com I assume that we could rel=canonical this, if needed, but our assumption has been that Google is clever enough to discount this as a genuine crawl error. Can anyone confirm or deny that? Thanks.
