I'm trying to fix my site http://www.layoutpimps.net It is so weird for example. http://www.layoutpimps.net/friends does work http://www.layoutpimps.net/friends/index.php reroutes back to the homepage http://www.layoutpimps.net/friends/ reroutes back to the homepage Currently, I have this in my htaccess ErrorDocument 404 /index.php so thats why http://www.layoutpimps.net/friends/ reroutes back to the homepage. This site is a complete mess in Google's eyes. Why is it if you add a / or a /index.php are the URLs considered 404 errors? All three of those links need to go to the same place and be considered the same URL. Is there anything I can add to my htaccess to fix this problem? It does it to all my URLs and it's been like this for a year! I just now noticed it.
Mess in google's eyes? - And who do you think is creating this mess? Alright, first off: Why in the world would you make index.php your 404 error page? That has disaster written all over it. Create error404.php, stuff your html in there and point to it in htaccess As for the urls This http://www.layoutpimps.net/friends and this http://www.layoutpimps.net/friends/ are the same thing, leave it alone As for http://www.layoutpimps.net/friends/index.php The only way people will link to this index page, is if you do it So don't do it And you're done, no need to over-complicate things
