An important thing in blog SEO is we must ensure canonical url for your blog.
The reason is search engines treat
http://www.abc.com/index.php
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:
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
Enforce www. Preference and
.htaccess hack will help you fix it.
Fix it with Enforce www. Preference:
Install and activate Enforce www. Preference plugin.
Fix it with All in One SEO Pack:
Login to WordPress admin, go to Settings > All in one SEO plugin > check Canonical URLs.
