WordPress users - sharpen your URLs with Google!

First of all you must enable the permalinks, but that you probably already have done.

Now to the point. Did you know that these are all different URLs for the same blog post?

http://www.myblog.com/my-blog-post
http://www.myblog.com/my-blog-post/
http://myblog.com/my-blog-post
http://myblog.com/my-blog-post/

Google sees this as 4 different URLs and 4 different pages when in fact it is only one. One of them will rank higher in Google than the rest. This is called canonicalization problem and is discussed by a Google staff here.

Let’s say you get a nice link to http://www.myblog.com/my-blog-post but in fact it is http://www.myblog.com/my-blog-post/ that ranks higher. This link is useless in terms of ranking!

The solution to get all 4 versions made into only one and to have all weight/power transferred to that one

Add the following lines in the .htaccess file before the WordPress permalinks lines:

Options +Indexes
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^myblog\.com
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.myblog.com/$1 [R=permanent,L]

RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(.*)/$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.myblog.com/$1/ [L,R=301]

That will make all posts go to this version: http://www.myblog.com/my-blog-post/

Just replace myblog before you add it and don’t forget to still include the WordPress permalinks section in the .htaccess file.

Let me know any feedback, ideas, comments etc.

Update, November 28 2006

If this does not work or you use the non-www version for your blog you should use the solution provided by Christer Edwards on the comment here.

hi.
wow! real imp info. but could you please let me know wether such a trick can be done for a blogger account.
Jim Westergren said on February 3, 2006 at 5:39 pm
Hmm. Sorry I don’t know how blogger works. I think WordPress is better.

By the way, yes it is important info. Please tell your friends or blog a link to me
Russell said on February 12, 2006 at 7:01 am
Would this code have to be modified if I was using the Subster Rejuvenation plugin to use wildcard dns to make post category a subdomain?
Jim Westergren said on February 12, 2006 at 3:35 pm
Russell,

Oh, that I cannot answer to. But if your WordPress post URLs look like the ones above you could try it and see if it works.

Also would be nice if you commented back here on how it went

You have a nice blog, I’m visiting it every week. But I swear I saw the same design on Webhosting site a few months ago. Is design for your site 100% made by you?
Jim Westergren said on April 17, 2006 at 2:47 am
Dave,

if you see on the footer there is credits to:

She made it originally and a few other ones has it as well.

Klaas Koopman said on July 8, 2006 at 4:31 pm
Hey what exactly do the permalink lines look like?
Jim Westergren said on July 8, 2006 at 5:18 pm
Hi Klaas,

like the ones on your new blog.
Klaas Koopman said on July 8, 2006 at 6:21 pm
I mean about this text:

Add the following lines in the .htaccess file before the WordPress permalinks lines:
Jim Westergren said on July 8, 2006 at 6:40 pm
Oh, ok. You need to download your .htaccess file and you will see. It is 20 lines or something at the end of the file.
Klaas Koopman said on July 8, 2006 at 7:00 pm
could you give me an example of how the lines look like? cause I see lines, but not sure which is the right one and where it should be!
Jim Westergren said on July 8, 2006 at 7:07 pm
You don’t need to insert any lines as it was done automatically when you enabled the permalinks. They start with this: “# BEGIN WordPress”.
Klaas Koopman said on July 8, 2006 at 8:26 pm
So I have to add this Options +Indexes
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^myblog\.com
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.myblog.com/1 [R=permanent,L]

RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(.*)/$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.myblog.com/1/ [L,R=301]

before the BEGIN Wordpress part?
Jim Westergren said on July 9, 2006 at 1:21 am
Yes. But replace myblog.com with the domain name of your blog.

Marios said on July 25, 2006 at 7:51 pm
Jim,

Any thoughts on whether it makes sense to use URLs of this format

http://www.myblog.com/index.php/my-blog-post

instead of

http://www.myblog.com/?p=123

I ask because I’ve got a WordPress blog on Microsoft’s IIS which doesn’t support rewrites without a special plug-in that my host won’t install. I’d like to do what’s best from an SEO perspective, but the variation with index.php looks messy.
Jim Westergren said on July 25, 2006 at 11:38 pm
“http://www.myblog.com/index.php/my-blog-post” would be better as you then get the KWs in the URL but it is not a critical point, you decide.
Ambatchdotcom Seocontest said on August 17, 2006 at 1:34 pm
Dont you think filename.html would help more?
Tom said on September 25, 2006 at 8:28 pm
Is this considered a 301 or 302 redirect?

Christer Edwards said on November 30, 2006 at 11:31 pm
Jim I’m curious on your feelings about the difference in using the www vs non-www domain addresses. I recently wrote a quick post about it and I’d love some more feedback on the issue. It seems to be somewhat controversial from some of the feedback I’ve got so far. Your thoughts?

http://christeredwards.com/proper-method-of-linking-www-non-www/
Jim Westergren said on December 2, 2006 at 4:36 pm
Hi Christer,

Jim I’m curious on your feelings about the difference in using the www vs non-www domain addresses.

The www-version is slightly better. WHY?

It is the most common version and when you get natural links from people on the top of their head (no cut and paste of URLs) they tend to link to the www-version.

But if you started with one version - stick to it.

In some cases such as digg.com and other web 2.0 sites it would be better without www as you have a short domain and when you are that big people will learn and know which version you are using.

In 5 years from now it might be the other way around - I don’t know.

Just my 2 cents.
Software Driver Download said on February 8, 2007 at 6:46 pm
Thanks! I tried your trick on my site http://www.softwaredriverdownload.com and now it is working perfectly diverting all non-www to url with www

Thanks and keep up the good work!
Michael said on February 20, 2007 at 6:37 pm
I think the way I set this up with my host automatically does the conversion, just in reverse. All http://www.netexperienced.com traffic switches to read http://netexperienced.com…you say stick with this, so I will, but am I missing out on link juice from people who link to me by http://www.netexperienced.com? I wasn’t totally clear. Thanks!

hi,

i have my blog on http://www.webee.ro/webeeblog. and i have set a permanent redirect:
from www[.]root domain[.] ro to www[.]rootdomain[.]ro/webeeblog

should i replace myblog.com with the root domain, or with the www[.]rootdomain[.]ro/webeeblog?

thanks for help,
webee.
Eddie Walter said on March 22, 2007 at 10:00 pm
Hey Jim,

This is great info, but I’ve been having a problem when I find great tips like this for WordPress blogs. They are all written as if you are hosting on an Apache server.

There’s where my problem lies. I host my blog on an IIS server. Any idea how to do this with an IIS server since it doesn’t use a .htaccess file?

The other thing I’m trying to figure out is how to change my permalinks to NOT include /index.php/%post name%/. I just want /%post name%/. But the workaround I’ve found for this also includes instructions with a .htaccess.

Any help would be appreciated! You’ll definitely get a link back to your site WITHOUT a nofollow. =)
Sheena said on March 24, 2007 at 2:02 pm

Jim Westergren said on March 24, 2007 at 9:08 pm
webee,

As I see it you have the blog in the root of the domain?

Eddie,

Well, what about moving to an Apache server? I don’t know the answers to your questions and I am not even sure if it is possible.

Sheena,

Did you keep the lines that was placed there by WordPress for the permalinks?
KJ said on March 25, 2007 at 5:13 am
Thanks so much for making this accessible. I’ve been looking all over for this redirect to avoid the canonicalization issue.

I’m in SEO myself, but fairly new to the blogger scene. So this is great stuff.
Sheena said on March 26, 2007 at 4:58 am
I sure did. The code:

Options +Indexes
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^sophistishe\.org
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.sophistishe.org/1 [R=permanent,L]

RewriteBase /

Excellent Aricle my Friend
Could you send me the html code that this would look like on a blog. I understand what you have said but still not to sure where or how you put it in.
I am lacking some of the understanding. Can this nofollow ad in be done in text rather than html?
Tremendous article, you found somthing that many of us did not know and thanks again.

Sheena said on April 2, 2007 at 9:45 am
I set my perma links to look like this: http://myblog.com/my-blog-post and in my htaccesss wordpress inserted:
# BEGIN WordPress

RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

# END WordPress

To use your trick do I keep the code that wordpress gave me or delte it and insert what you’ve posted. I think I’m getting an error because I pasted the code that you provided on top of what wordpress provided to it looks like this:
Options +Indexes
Options +FollowSymLinks
RewriteEngine on
RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^sophistishe\.org
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.sophistishe.org/1 [R=permanent,L]

RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !(.*)/$

I have several blogs on free hosting with that URL.

Hi all,
My blog is in a subfolder not on the root domain as the above examples so I am also wondering how to modify this code slightly to work for the extra /blog/ subfolder - could anyone explain?

I’ve tried a few variations of the above codes adding /blog/ onto the root domain but it gives internal errors. My perma links are set as: http://www.myblog.com/blog/my-blog-post

Hoping for some direction… thank you,

**************** TIP *********************

Hi guys I just logged in to say that after changing the .htaccess from the non-www version to the www version I started to have a series of problems editing posts, deleting or adding categories, etc. (I’m using WP v2.2)

After 48 hours of intense editing and customization I realized there was a problem and the thought of doing everything again .. made me wanna puke …

***The problem:

When you try to add a category the “add category” button does nothing and the information entered dissapears.
Trying to add a category from a post shows the same problems.

***Solution:

Grab a beer and Chillax!…then read the following explanation:

The problem seems to be caused by the .htaccess modification in order to push the .www version of your blog.

Simply go to OPTIONS>>>GENERAL and change your wordpress and blog address (URL) to the www version.
Josh Spaulding said on June 23, 2007 at 3:51 am

Hi Jim,
My site doesn’t use the http://www.myblog.com/my-blog-post/ style links, it uses http://www.myblog.com/2007/06/18/my-blog-post/. You mentioned somewhere else that if it wasn’t a new site DON’T change this. Does this mean that I can’t place this code before the links code in the .htaccess file? I’m really worried about breaking my site but also worried about messing up Google chances!

Lovely blog - thanks.

I can’t get this to work on my site that is hosted in a sub directory - everything works except if you go to articlesnatch.com/blog it doens’t redirect correctly. SO i have removed the lines but here is what i had.

John Sylvester said on July 6, 2007 at 1:33 pm
WordPress is far superior. You can add it as a seamless addition to your pages. Ideal for smaller sites wanting more content. Blogger is a waste of time, in my opinion - there are no RSS feeds so no directory listings, which is one of the points of adding content in this way and diversifying keyword space.

Traian said on October 18, 2007 at 6:44 am
the redirect only works if you have the blog it self as the domain name. if you host the blog like http://www.corporateside.com/blog and you are redirecting the non www of the root site to the www version the blog redirect won’t work

pipholicdotcom said on December 3, 2007 at 12:06 am
hi jim, I set my permalink structure for the post to this : %postname%.html I think it is much easier than editing htaccess file. I dont think anybody will link to my post using an ending slash if they see the html extention at the end of the link.

However, I dont know how it will go with my page or category link.
marcuzzer said on December 7, 2007 at 8:48 pm
It seems there’s an unanswered question here. I do have the same problem:
domain.com/blog/
and posts that include the date like
domain.com/blog/index.php/12/12/07/title-of-post

Now I would like to thank for the useful article, but if anybody can solve out this problem i would be happier.

Onre more thing: my .htaccess file is very long. Where should i place the code? exactly here?
