I had a PR6 for www. website .com and a PR0 for www. website .com/index.htm. Even though they are the same page, Google still seems to be treating them as two different pages in the site. If this is the case, and these pages have exactly the same content, surely Google would penalise the site for having duplicate pages?

Would it be a good idea then to do a 301 redirect from the /index.htm page to the home page?

Just a thought...

Welll the case is a little bit different.

yoursite . com/ is a different page than yoursite . com/index.html and different from yoursite . com/index.html?i=1

It is obvious that all of your incoming links from other sites point to the yoursite . com/

So my advice is to use the same pattern for your internal linking. From all the pages in your site that you link to your home page, point the links to yoursite . com/ instead of yoursite . com/index.html

After you do that make the 301 redirect, but it will be useless anyway(except if there are sites that link to this page).

That was going to be my next point - don't show /index.htm in future. Thanks Nik!

What is the best way to do a 301 re-direct in your opinion?

I've just been doing it using PHP... just wondering if one is better over the other...

Cheers,
Miyagi
