Thanks, Lovedeep and DJ,

Thats a very good tip. I’ll try it and see if it works to get better SEO.

Now its harder to know about supplemental pages, because of the Google changes, since supplemental pages are usually because of duplicate content.

Thanks for the comments.

If you are using www preference, insert http://www.yourdomain.com/ in front of the $1 to avoid a double redirect.

RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !.*(/page/[0-9]*/?)$ RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/200[0-9]/?$ RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/200[0-9]/[01][0-9]/?$ RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} !^/200[0-9]/[01][0-9]/[0-3][0-9]/?$ RewriteRule (.*)(/[0-9]+/?)$ http://www.domain.com/$1/ [R=301,L]

Lovedeep Thanks a lot for bringing this issue to the concern of all bloggers out there.

Especially for bloggers like me who are very much concerned about their blog search engine optimization this post is truly a must read.

I am scared only because I do have the www preference set on my blog and I am still confused how to fix the bug without triggering a double redirect.
