Question

recently google webmaster tools has shown that i have a duplicate title tag

 http://www.mydomain.com/root_folder/mypage.htm
 http://www.mydomain.com/root_folder/mypage.htm?referer=www.clickfind.com.au

I tried fixing the problem with a redirect rule using the following code

 RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^referer=.*$
 RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.mydomain.com$1? [R=301,L]

using this rule i get redirected to http://www.mydomain.comroot_folder/mypage.htm as you can see there is no / between com and root_folder where there should be… can anyone help me with that i need to edit in the following code to fix this issue

Answer 1

You should add “/$1″ then ” ” then “?”..

RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^referer=.*$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.mydomain.com/$1 ? [R=301,L]
