Duplicate content, pretty urls, canonicalization , and 301's
Permalink
Hey folks,
Noob here working through the above issues. I have a site with lots of duplicate pages (/index.php/ variants). I've enabled pretty urls', done the .htaccess mod rewrite specifically for Dreamhost, created a pretty-url.php with require('index.php'); in it.
Now, on my site, I do have links to internal pages where i used index.php in those links (couldn't get pretties to work). I should change all of those links to canonical, yes?
Also, do I need to figure out separate 301 redirects for all those other /index.php/ duplicate pages?
Many thanks for your advice as I continue to ascend the learning curve at 7am on a sunday morning!! Yeehaw! An obsessive monster in the making!?
