|  Uh-Oh! Discovered Dup. Pages On My Site. Now What?
Discovered some duplicate pages on my site. mysite.com/long_tail_key_word.html and: mysite.com/long-tail-key-word.html Both sets of pages are indexed. What is the best way to fix this? I went to webmaster tools and requested the pages be removed. Was that the right thing to do? What else should I do? Delete the pages from my server? Sofar I've found 2 sets of dup pages. How will something like this affect your rankings, PR etc? Thanks, Evita |

One quick thing you can do is if you identify dupes then redirct them from your htaccess file. Add something like this: Code: Redirect permanent /long_tail_key_word.html long-tail-key-word.html Code: Options +FollowSymlinks
RewriteEngine on
rewritecond %{http_host} ^domain.com [nc]
rewriterule ^(.*)$ http://www.domain.com/$1 [r=301,nc] Hope that helps you Sean Donahoe The Manic Marketer |
