Canonical Links for index page
I have my site developed in Miva Merchant which is a eCommerce shopping cart. By default the homepage is called SFNT.html in Miva Merchant just like default.aspx in asp.net.
So I created a base called index.html which is 100% identical to SFNT.html and now i want to add a canonical link to both pages so Google will know to index only one page.
here is my question by default when I type mysite.com, it alwasys displays SFNT page so is it good to add a canonical link to SFNT page like below
<link rel="canonical" href="http://mysite.com/index.html" />
or should I do the opposite and but this in index.html
<link rel="canonical" href="http://mysite.com/index.html" />
but I am using index.html all over the site and no where am i using SFNT.html
Please advice me appreciate it
