Welcome to the Q&A Forum

RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^([a-z.]+)?amarasoftware.com$ [NC] RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www. [NC] RewriteRule .? http://www.%1amarasoftware.com%{REQUEST_URI} [R=301,L] Is what I use. In Seomoz this leads to www.amarasoftware.com and index.html so 2 different URL's, both with different incoming links, and a different authority, which has an impact on my ranking if correct. in SEomoz this a returns a duplicate title and meta tags errors. If SEOmoz finds 2 pages instead of one I may assume that Google agrees with this.

SEOMoz returns a Duplicate Page Content error for a website's index page, with both domain.com and domain.com/index.html isted seperately. We had a rewrite in the htacess file, but for some reason this has not had an impact and we have since removed it. What's the best way (in an HTML website) to ensure all index.html links are automatically redirected to the root domain and these aren't seen as two separate pages?
