anybody out there who really know the answer?

Thrawn$ · 07-28-2009, 03:05 PM

it doesnt matter which one is indexed but only one of them should be indexed and 301 redirect the other one, including index.php etc...

thank you, so without 301 redir i can be penalized for duplicated content or something ... ? and is it in all search engines the same, i mean in yahoo, google and bing is it the same? just cause i have some domains targetted only at bing and yahoo so not sure if i have to 301 all my domains ... but this answer was all i needed already, thank you much!

I don't think you get penalized for duplication content with this issue, SE aren't dumb
but the link juice will get spread on 2-3 pages instead of only one, think about people linking to your site, they just put the link the way they want with www or not.

katharos · 07-28-2009, 03:18 PM

ok thank you i got it, i dont have any links comming inside only from my servers and i am always making them in the same way, without www ... so looks like i dont need to change anything ... thank you much and wish you best with your sites!

This should avoid duplicate content problems:

RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.[a-z-]+\.[a-z]{2,6} [NC]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ([a-z-]+\.[a-z]{2,6})$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.%1/$1 [R=301,L]

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/index\.(php|htm|html)$
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ / [L,R=301]

either will do, but which ever you pick, force the other to the one you pick

this is just too complicated... it could be done in much easier way...
