How Can I Prevent / And Index.html From Having The Same Title Tage? by Nobody: 7:49pm On Jun 24, 2015
Dear Webmasters,

I need help, my SEO optimizer is saying that my www.nickzom.com/ and www.nickzom.com/index.html has the same title and description tag and I should make them different. I totally do not know how to do that.

If you know please tell me or rather us.

Thank You

I have some questions for you.
1. did u build the site yourself?
if the answer to no 1 is YES then you have to check your meta tag description attribute to correct that but I sensed you are using a WP installation. moreover you can make use of your canonical url to rewrite ur url for the 2 links ...com & .com/index.html
2. you can as well redirect your ...com to ..com/index.html on ur cpanel through 'redirect' that should solve your challenge.

did u build it urself? assuming you used php assuming you used php for your homepage file extension all u have to do js add to the top of ur home page.

< ? p h p
header("Location:index.php" )(put a delimiter here

canonical url is one you use to difficultiate 2 urls from each other if they serve the same or salmon d same content.


<link rel="canonical" href="put your home page url here" />
but this wont work for ur case since its not an issue of duplicate content but jjust title n description that is y I said redirect ur ...com/ to
com/index.html
