kt -> 301 help (5/28/2006 9:15:44)
|
Hi
The default page of my site is indexed by search engines twice:
http://www.mysite.com/ and
http://www.mysite.com/index.asp
I'm worried that this may be considered duplicate content and could be harming me.
I removed all links and reference to index.asp long ago, but it stil gets indexed regularly.
So I think the solution is a 301 redirect from www.mysite.com/index.asp to www.mysite.com/
Is there any problem in doing this - I'm not sure what kind of problems there could be, which is why I'm asking!... is it perfectly legal and okay simply to do this?
Many thanks
kt
EDIT:
Okay, on further research, it seems that a redirect is the best way to go.
However, index and the root are spidered at diferent times, and as the page serves about 30% dynamic content, the cahed versions are different.
So my question now is, is it a problem to do a 301 redirect from /index.asp to / if they (according to Google, for instance) have different content? Could this be considered as something like a doorway page?
Does anyone have any views on this?
Many thanks
