Canonical Redirects in Apache • RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} . • RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.seoclass\.org [NC] • RewriteRule (.*) http://www.seoclass.org/$1 [R=301,L] • May be Cryptic, but that’s it!
Canonical Redirects In IIS • First of all, you need to set up separate entries for the www and non-www version of your website (usually using the host-header setting in IIS). Determine which version you want to redirect (for some help, try this tool to check the numbers on the canonical versons of a domain). • 1. Start -> Control Panel -> Administrative Tools -> Internet Information Services. • 2. Double-click "Web Sites" and then find the web site where the unpreferred domain is. • 3. Right-click on the unpreferred site and choose "Properties". Choose the "Directory" tab. • 4. Click the "A redirection to a URL" option. • 5. Enter the URL of the preferred domain to the right of "Redirect to:", add "$S$Q" to the end to redirect paths, files and querystrings (eg "http://www.domain.com$S$Q" - don't use the quotes). • 6. Select "The exact URL entered above" and "A permanent redirection for this resource". • 7. Use "OK" to save the changes. • Don't trust the settings - test them with the server header checker. The preferred domain should come normally, the other one should 301-redirect. Try some lower level pages and some parameters in the querystring to be certain that it's working everywhere. It must return code "301" (not 302). • If you do not have console access to IIS, you will have to include a script into all pages / scripts processed on the domain. An example of how to handle this can be found at http://www.jlh-design.com/2006/08/301-redirects-in-asp-on-iis-server/.
Canonical Redirects with IIS ISAPI Rewrite • RewriteEngine On • RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^yourdomain\.com$ [NC] • RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.yourdomain.com/$1 [R=301,L] • May be Cryptic, but that’s it!
Duplicate Content • Duplicate content is one of the banes of the web publishing world • Content management systems are often the culprit • So why does it matter?
