Fix URL Problem

I have already mentioned 3 Common URL Problems that you can face while running your website in my earlier post. Now I am trying to share that How you can Fix them.

Problem 1: 
Non-www and www Versions of Site URLs

There are a couple of things you need to do to fix this:
  • Decide which URL style you want to use, www or non-www.
  • Set up a 301 redirect so that any links to your non-preferred URL style will go to the right style. This way you don’t waste link value by splitting it between two URLs.
  • Set your preferred domain in Google Webmaster Tools so your search result listings are consistent with your style preference. 
          Direction: Site Configuration(on right side) -> Settings
  • Make sure whenever you build links to your site that you use the preferred URL style.

Problem 2: 
Duplicate Home Page URLs

The fix here is very similar to the first one. Here are a few tips:
  • Set your main home page URL to be http://www.mysite.com. 301 redirect everything else to this URL since it is the most basic (If your preferred URL style is non-www, then do http://mysite.com)
  • If you have to set up different versions for tracking purposes or some other reason, set a canonical tag to show the search engines which version you want showing up in the search results.
  • Make sure when you build links to your home page that you link to the correct version.

Three Common URL Problems

Problem 1: 
Non-www and www Versions of Site URLs
If your site has a non-www and www version of all your URLs, you’re going to be splitting link value for the same content between two URLs. Rather than capturing 100% of the link value on the page you want to rank in the search results, you could be doing a 50/50, 60/40, or some other kind of split between the two URLs.

Problem 2: 
Duplicate Home Page URLs
This is a close cousin to Problem 1, but is especially bad because it’s your home page.
It is possible to have a lot of different URLs that all go to your home page content, especially if you haven’t fixed your www and non-www duplication, which can result in a lot of unnecessary duplication.

For example:
• http://www.mysite.com
• http://mysite.com
• http://www.mysite.com/index.html
• http://mysite.com/index.html

These URLs will all lead to the same content. If you have links going to all four of them you will see a four-way split in link value. There are a lot of sites out there that have fixed their non-www and www problems, but I can still find multiple versions of their home page.
I’ve even come across sites with different extensions (.php, .html, .htm, etc.) that bring up the same page as well. This leads to even more duplication and potentially wasted link value.
