    Hello,
    Google is indexing my home page twice - FyiColorado.com/ and FyiColorado.com/directory/

    My page rank recently dropped and it may have something to do with Google seeing this as duplicate content. FyiColorado.com/ has a better page rank. Is it possible to set up a permanent redirect from FyiColorado.com/directory/ to FyiColorado.com/ ?

    Thanks for any help.

    Yes. You need a 301 redirect to the root page.

    It is a very bad idea for the root of a domain to redirect somewhere else.

    The redirect should redirect TO the root of the domain.

    Well, I've tried that but it isn't working. I'm wondering if it's creating a loop because they go to the same place. I've tried this:

    Redirect 301 /directory [link]

    Oops, sorry.

    "Redirect 301 /directory http://www.fyicolorado.com/"

    How about:

    RewriteRule ^directory/(.*) http://www.domain.com/$1 [R=301]
