Problem: Duplicate meta description

loginname · Nov 24, 2009

Hey

Google Webmaster Tools report that I have duplicate meta description

Google Webmaster Tools reports that domain.com and domain.com/Default.aspx has the same meta description

Default.aspx is the default page (like a index page)

What can I do to solve this?

This id because Google thinkd they are 2 different pages. Try setting your htaccess to send domain.com/Default.aspx to domain.com

Code:

Options +FollowSymLinks
DirectoryIndex [COLOR="DarkOrange"]Default.aspx[/COLOR]
 
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{THE_REQUEST} ^[A-Z]{3,9}\ /[COLOR="DarkOrange"]Default[/COLOR]\.[COLOR="DarkOrange"]aspx[/COLOR]\ HTTP/
RewriteRule ^[COLOR="DarkOrange"]Default[/COLOR]\.[COLOR="DarkOrange"]aspx[/COLOR]$ http://[COLOR="DarkOrange"]domain.com[/COLOR]/ [R=301,L]
 
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /[COLOR="DarkOrange"]Default.aspx[/COLOR] [L]

Just copy and paste this in your .htaccess changing the domain. If this works, when you write in your browser domain.com/Default.aspx you will be automatically redirect. Think this is the same for domain.com and www.domain.com If you go to www.domain.com and you are not redirected to domain.com or viceversa Google will take as duplicate.
