Hello John,
Thanks for codes.
On changing the main URL, I have really good SERPS for
http://www.usernomics.com right now. I worry about changing to
http://usernomics.com in terms of loosing juice. I don't see a
compelling reason to change at this point. Do you?
On the index.html issue, I do not have any links to index.html but
Google does see both pages. There are a few (12) backlinks to
index.html but nothing major. My thinking was to redirect index.html
just so Google will not divide the juice to the main URL. Does it make
sense to do that for that reason? I don't want to mess-up my good
SERPS at this point.
Thanks Again,
Bob
