          I have GoDaddy website builder and a new website http://ecuadorvisapros.com and I notices through your crawl test that there are 3 home pages http://ecuadorvisapros with a 302 temporary redirect, http://www.ecuadorvisapros.com/ with no redirect and http://www.ecuadorvisapros/home.html.  GoDaddy says there is only one home page.  Is this going to kill my chances of having a successful website and can this be fixed?  Or can it.  I actually went with the SEO version thinking it would be better, but it wants to auto change my settings that I worked so hard at with your sites help.

          Please keep it simple, I am a novice although I have had websites in the past I know more about the what's than the how's of websites.

          Thanks,

            Thank you I think you have answered my question.  It looks like my only option now is start a new website using WordPress.  If I continue with my current website I will be throwing link money down the toilet.  What is really sad is that I bought the SEO version of the website thinking it would give me more options.

              You are encountering something that happens from time to time with communication about websites - as far as GoDaddy is concerned, there is only one "page" - there is only one document that is your home page - but the page has several different URLs, which is what's causing Google and Moz Tools to recognize it as several different pages. It's more of a terminology thing than anything (but a sarcastic response is never in good taste, not the best customer service there)!

              As far as website content management systems go, I always recommend WordPress. It's very customizable, but there are many great out-of-the-box templates that work well for SEO too. There are several great plugins for WordPress that help make SEO changes easier - two good ones are WordPress SEO by Yoast and the All-in-One SEO pack. If you want to change your website's hosting as well, do a bit of research - many hosting companies will help you with step-by-step instructions for moving your site and installing WordPress.

                Thank you for your for all of you experience and responses.

                I called GoDaddy again and they continue to tell me there is only one homepage and no redirects and that there is no way to change the website.  I also got a sarcastic response saying I needed to build my own website and host it on a private server.  I still trust MozPro  crawlers and Google more than Godaddy.  At this point I don't think even someone with developer skills can make these changes though I may be wrong.  Is there a simple website design program like GoDaddy that I can use and that is SEO friendly?  I hate to switch at this point but what I do now will reflect in the future.  It's frustrating not knowing what can be changed.

                  Jaume is correct that the best solution would be to 1.) change that 302 redirect to a 301 (which would let Google know that the redirect is permanent, rather than temporary) and 2.) Also use a 301 redirect to redirect http://www.ecuadorvisapros.com/home.html to http://www.ecuadorvisapros.com. http://www.edcuadorvisapros.com is the home page that you want. However, this can be difficult to do if you don't have developer experience, and how easy it is to do also depends on the website system you're using. Here's an article on the godaddy.com site about how to do it: https://www.godaddy.com/help/using-301-page-redirects-234

                  If you don't want to mess with redirects, or can't get the page redirecting properly, you will want to use the canonical tag instead. In the section of  http://www.ecuadorvisapros.com/home.html, put the tag . This will let Google know which version of the page is the "official" version. You can learn more about the canonical tag in the Moz learn section, here: https://a-moz.groupbuyseo.org/learn/seo/canonicalization.

                    Thanks,

                    I am not sure what or where that is.  I have limited access to what's inside the GoDaddy website.  I will try and contact GoDaddy again.  Also I am concerned with the 302 redirect.  I hear that it will not pass link juice.  Is this a common problem with Godaddy websites and how might I fix it?  I hate to scrap them due to the work I have already put in.

                      Hi!

                      To be sure, you could modify your htacces file to indicate that only one page is the "good"

                      Cheers!!

                        Multilingual website

                        My website is https://www.india-visa-gov.in and we are doing multilingual. There are three options 1. TLD eg india-visa-gov.fr (French) india-visa-gov.de (German) 2. Subdomain eg: fr.india-visa-gov.in (French) de.india-visa-gov.in (German) 3. Folders https://www.india-visa-gov.in/fr/ (French) https://www.india-visa-gov.in/de/ (German) We have tried the 3rd option but need to know whether its better or not for the long term health from SEO. Does the MOZ DA carry better in Subdomain or TLD or Folders? What does MOZ recommend to maintain DA? Thanks

                        I have multiple URLs that redirect to the same website. Is this an issue?

                        I have multiple URLs that all lead to the same website. Years ago they were purchased and were sitting dormant. Currently they are 301 redirects and each of the URLs feed to different areas of my website. Should I be worried about losing authority? And if so, is there a better way to do this?

                        Adding Rel Canonical to multiple pages

                        Hi, Our CMS generates a lot of duplicate content, (Different versions of every page for 3 different font sizes). There are many other reasons why we should drop this current CMS and go with something else, and we are in the process of doing that. But for now, does anyone know how would I do the following: I've created a spreadsheet that contains the following: Column 1: rel="canonical" tag for URL Column 2: Duplicate Content URL # 1 Column 3: Duplicate Content URL # 2 Column 4: Duplicate Content URL # 3 I want to add the tag from column 1 into the head of every page from column 2,3, and 4. What would be a fast way to do this considering that I have around 1800 rows. Check the screenshot of the builtwith.com result to see more information about the website if that helps. Farris bxySL

                        Multiple Domains on 1 IP Address

                        We have multiple domains on the same C Block IP Address. Our main site is an eCommerce site, and we have separate domains for each of the following: our company blog (and other niche blogs), forum site, articles site and corporate site. They are all on the same server and hosted by the same web-hosting company. They all have unique and different content. Speaking strictly from a technical standpoint, could this be hurting us? Can you please make a recommendation for the best practices when it comes to multiple domains like these and having separate or the same IP Addresses? Thank you!
