Last week i had my WordPress gone hare-wire. It was i nightmare when i saw my blog content is being duplicated. Not by other bloggers but by my WP blog itself. You see, when google sees your site has duplicate content, most likely your blog might get penalized by not being index in their search engine for selected keywords or phrases. And this happened when i realized that my blog aren’t performing quite well with optimized keywords even though i did major SEO tweaking.

So i check my content with copyscape, and there was no copy cats copying my stuff. Then i typed “site:www.romicozone.com” in google and wallah, it showed up the following top 3 result:

1. www.romicozone.com
2. www.romicozone.com/blog
3. romicozone.com

All these URL redirect to my index home page which mean these three link showed up the same page. And Google sees my blog content has duplicated content. But then i manage solve problem number 1 and 2 by following Wordpress Guide. For the number 3 problem, i had to somehow redirect the romicozone.com to the conical URL which is www.romicozone.com - see the www deferent. The easiest way to avoid this is create a .htaccess with the following code:


RewriteEngine On
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} !^www\.yoursite\.com$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.yoursite.com/$1 [R,L]
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

Then upload the .htaccess file to where your Wordpress index.php folder is. It took me about 30 minute to figured it out and 5 minute to solve it. After 2 or 3 days (to make sure Google spidered my site) i check again my site in Google and both www.romicozone.com/blog and romicozone.com are gone.

So go ahead check your WordPress blog with “site:www.yoursite.com” in Google, and see what showed up. And follow above steps if you sufered duplicate content by your own blog.
