    I'm looking for thoughts on the best way to link to your home page within your website to meet googles duplicate content requirements.

    domain.com
    domain.com/
    domain.com/index.php

    What's the best way to link to the home page within Dreamweaver that is a relative path?


    Maybe this??

    <a href="#" onClick="this.style.behavior='url(#default#homepage)'; this.setHomePage('http://www.google.com');">Make this your Homepage</a>

    Or this??

    $_SERVER['HTTP_HOST'] for home page

    Or maybe use an Absolute Path like:

    <a href="http://www.domain.com">Homepage</a>

    Any new tricks to keep up with Google?

    Crap. Thanks for the answer; however I just realized that this is a bookmark/home page setter.

    I'm looking on how to code the href within my website.

    <a href=".../index.php">goes to home page</a>
    Code (markup):
    But, I want it to drop the "index.php". Dreamweaver says this is an error when I validate links.
