Hey all, can anyone help me. i have just noticed that for my website I have 3 possible home pages: just the domain /default.aspx /home.aspx there could be more  How do i go about fixing this as obviously to the search engines it looks like i have three pages all with duplicate content? Any advice would be appreciated! T

I'm not an SEO expert but I don't think there is any penalty for having both 'just the domain' and having the domain plus a page going to the same content since that is inevitable. But you could use urlrewriting to go from /home.aspx to /default.aspx to remove that potential redundancy. cheers, doug.

I think google does penalise me from having three versions of the same page.
I am not sure how to do the url rewrite, i have never quite managed to figure it out, can you point me in the right direction?
Thanks!!

Hi, Check the official documentation for url rewriting as is being used in umbraco: http://urlrewriting.net/149/en/home.htmlRules for url rewriting go into UrlRewriting.config in the config folder at the root of the umbraco web. Code:<add name="RewriteHome"
virtualUrl="^~/Home.aspx"
rewriteUrlParameter="ExcludeFromClientQueryString"
destinationUrl="~/Default.aspx"
ignoreCase="true" />
(Not tested) Hope this helps. Regards, /Dirk
