Hi,
I got a question about avoiding Canonicalization, what is the best practice for this?
So how would the following url be accessed from just one address and letting the url’s below redirect to that one:
http://mysite.com/index
http://mysite.com/index.html
http://mysite.com/index/
http://www.mysite.com/index
http://www.mysite.com/index.html
http://www.mysite.com/index/
How do you solve this? 301 redirects, htaccess rewrite, dns?
Thanks in advance,
mDesign

If you’re using Revolution, you can install the Canonical snippet which will create the canonical tag for you.
There’s an Evolution version in a recent forum post, but I can’t find it ATM.

check out the SEO Strict URLs plugin http://modxcms.com/extras/package/?package=395
Thank you, I was already using this one but I wanted too know if there was something better

I’d use 301 redirect. Also you can also use a canonical link which I think is now recognised the majority of search engines:

If your looking to accomplish a little more with one swipe the MetaX snippet will get canonical in addition to the typical meta tags and then some.

I’d second the use of 301 redirects.
