I was just going through one of the article in YOUmoz and the article was on “Solving Duplicate Content Issues with Http and Https“, written by AjiNIMC. I really found the article as superb and informative. Let’s first talk about duplicate content.
This topic was some thing from which almost every second webmaster is worried, thanks to the different algos of Search Engines. It is nothing just a sort of filter through which your websites content can be found as a duplicate of some one else’s. More information on Duplicate Content can be found at Duplicate Content Filter: What it is and how it works.
Now a big question, how we can deal with Duplicate Content Issue? The answer is simple: Stop the robots to reach to that pages, which can be a duplicate. More information on this can be found at Deftly dealing with duplicate content.
The problem of canonicalization is simple. It is like choosing one URL from a lot of 4-5 URL’s. More information cane be found from SEO advice: url canonicalization.
Now see the steps which AjiNIMC suggested for solving duplicate content issue with http and https, he has made it almost easier through changing in .htaccess file. For canonicalization he suggested to make available all the content pages for http not for https. All the links which others are giving should point to http, not the https and finally wait and watch.
