Google has my home page indexed four times. www.example.com/default.aspx www.example.com/Default.aspx example.com www.example.com I don't want to get a duplicate content penalty... does any one have any idea?
You need to sign up for Google Webmaster Tools. In the Webmaster Tools, there is a section where you can request URL removal. It will take a few days before Google removes URLs.
In order to do that, wouldn't I have to create a robot.txt file that blocks my default page from being indexed?
ohh, I never use .net framework but In your other pages you can write code such as private void Page_Load(object sender, System.EventArgs e) { Response.Status = "301 Moved Permanently"; Response.AddHeader("Location","http://www.example.com"); }
Right, that's exactly what I use for the other pages because I recently purchased an expired domain name. I am just having the problem with the default.aspx page.
Thanks every one. I found the answer. I have to use this tag: <link rel="canonical" href="http://www.example.com/" /> in the head section to let google know which url is the one to use.
