An important thing in blog SEO is we must ensure canonical url for your blog.
The reason is search engines treat
as different sites..
Lets see what are the affects if you don’t ensure a single url for your blog?
- Drop in Search Engine Rank:
Search engine will choose the best url to rank your site. So this will affect your search engine rank.
- Duplicate Content:
Search engine will pick up some content in your blog and put down the similar content or
same content and is considered as duplicate content by search engine.
Check your site for this issue,
your site should always forward you to full url ie.,
http://www.abc.com, if your site is at abc.com.
If there is issue don’t worry
.htaccess hack will help you fix it.
