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?
