I came across a great tip concerning Google and so-called duplicate content caused by the various ways that surfers can access a web page. Although humans can figure out that www.philipdelisle.co.uk is the same as philipdelisle.co.uk is the same as www.philipdelisle.co.uk/index.php etc, it seems that Google (and other search engines?) find this difficult.
If you get hit by this, Google might think that you have different versions of the same content on your site and penalise you accordingly.
Jason Potash of Portal Feeder published code to insert in the .htaccess file on Apache web serve. It works brilliantly provided that you realise that there is a typo on the first line (see my comment #14) which Jason may have corrected by the time you read this.
[Edit - the code has been corrected]
