Quote from: fourroses666 at Mar 22, 2014, 08:39 AM@banzai, Why would with-out be better? I think adding an url to the home will be better for seo, but maybe it doesn't matter that much. The only thing I don't like about it is that it doesn't look that nice
I do not think that this choice could really harm you Seo on site, but In the best-case scenario will not make any difference
1) Most of external links will point to the domain url www.sitename.com, then most of rank (page or authority rank) will be directed to this url .
Even if you have the htaccess redirect to
http://www.sitename.com/rotterdam-development.html will not be the same thing
2) this is the reason why search engines identifies the domain url like a container and distributes the rank in a pyramid model, starting from the domain url.
@iusemodx cool IF code for canonical url - bookmarked
