Google results are divided between skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php? and 66.249.128.91/showthread.php?
So even pageRank gets divided. Even bing and yahoo will support this tag soon. This can be avoided if we add canonical tag in header of all pages.

There's an easier way to fix that.

(I just fixed that)


Thanks for pointing it out, though.

Seems a 301 redirect.. todays count for search 'skyscrapercity site:66.249.128.93' is 106k on google

^^ today 9 results :banana: this must have helped pageranks..

ITT: nerd talk.

Do a little change in .htaccess file and fix it permanently.

not running apache, so .htaccess isn't an option.


TMYK

Redirect is fine, things improved, but let me explain why exactly canonical tag helps. These 2 pages are same, but google identifies them as separate pages and so pagerank is divided :(

when you google search you even find duplicate results showing same page of ssc thread :ohno: It is easy just add into < head > < / head > the following code:

if $pagenumber != 1
<link rel="canonical" href="http://www.skyscrapercity.com/showthread.php?t=1220875&page=$pagenumber" />
