    Hi guys,

    I was doing some research on SEO using serveral sites as reference. Using SEO Spider to crawl on this site http://www.fightsg.com

    I was wondering since it manage scan for these 2 pages..
    http://www.fightsg.com/
    http://www.fightsg.com/index.php

    Does it meant that spider will view them as 2 seperated sites?
    If this is so, does it meant that they view this as a duplicate content?

    How to solve this kind of problem?

    Since this site has been there 2007-07-15, but there has not been any ranking for this site.
    What kind of mistake did they make?

    Hi Keffy,

    Well i did check about ur site its true its PR 0
    U need to do certain things buddy.
    1) Host ur site on a dedicated served not on an shared one
    2) Optimize ur site fully like title meta tags etc,,,,
    3) Regarding the url issue u need to go into Google Webmasters tool and go to TOOLS section > and click the Set preferred domain where u need to point the desired one say www.fightsg.com is the best one.
    4) Also u can set Set geographic target and select the country where u want to target in same TOOLS section of webmasters

    Hope this may find u useful,,,,,,,:)

    Yes, those will be considered two seperate web pages and can be considered as duplicate contenrt. You need to add the below code into your .htaccess file to solve this issue. The code with 301 redirect the index.php request to your domain name.

    
    RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /index\.php\ HTTP/ 
    RewriteRule ^index\.php$ www.fightsg.com/ [R=301,L] 
    
    Code (markup):
    Insert the above code into your root html directory's .htaccess file.

    Not. It means that the spyder will store those 2 pages as one. It's only because you must have used index.html on the on-site linkage.
