Google Duplicate Pages

[dennis@dhl]

Hello

Just launched my oscommerce website which has the sitemap generator on it

Within about a week Google reported duplicate Meta tabs for urls : -

/
/index.php

Spent about a week on various forums trying to fix this issue without success.

This morning I suddenly wondered if there was a problem with my sitemap so I checked the .xml file and found

loc>[ External links are visible to forum administrators only ]</loc>   and
<loc>[ External links are visible to forum administrators only ]</loc>  as 2 seperate urls

What do I need to do to resolve this ?

I wondered if it was as simple as adding the 2nd url to my exclude list but I obviously dont want my home page excluded from Google.

Thanks ... Dennis

Hello,

in case if that's the same page, you can exclude index.php from sitemap and keep only [ External links are visible to logged in users only ] one.
