***RESOLVED***

*** I discovered that this was due to an index.htm file that was redirecting to home.aspx.  ***

Hello,

I have what I hope is a quick question.  Currently, when you go to my domain, my home page is displayed as http://mydomain.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://mydomain.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://mydomain.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://mydomain.com/home.aspx.  Even if you just type in http://mydomain.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://mydomain.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://mydomain.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://mydomain.com/ you are redirected to the home.aspx page.

I see other sites, DNN Creative, for example, where the home page is simply http://mydomain.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://mydomain.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://mydomain.com/" target="_blank" rel="nofollow">http://mydomain.com/ - without the "home.aspx."  In other words, you can enter http://www.dnncreative.com/ and you will see the home page with its Google Page Rank.  How is this done?

In case this helps, under Site Settings / Page Management my Home Page is set to "Home".  Should this be changed to "Non Specified?"

Thanks!

just to add some extra information, on DNN creative we have setup some redirects so that any URL that is for the home page redirects to www.dnncreative.com.

For instance in DotNetNuke you can have www.dnncreative.com/default.aspx as the home page as well.

The problem with having multiple URLs for the home page is that it will share your page rank.

A quick solution to this is to use: iFinity URL Master Module and you can view a tutorial for the module at that link.
