Links pointing to default.aspx or root?

    Is it better to have links point to the root of the folder or to default.aspx or does it make any difference? i.e. are links pointing to www.ibm.com/default.aspx carrying the same value as pointing to www.ibm.com ?

    Also does it cause an SEO issue if there are two seperate versions of the homepage (default.aspx and root) ?

    Hi, well if we thing of google, I guess its searchbot is intelligent enough to figure out that a url with root/default.aspx also have a root just called root/

    so I guess it doesn't matter.


    to the second question, well, if you just type the root url what default page does it redirect to? thats the one it will "crawl".
