The average webmaster without knowledge of SEO will just copy=>paste http://domain.com/index.php into the link field of their dreamweaver when the correct URL should have been http://www.domain.com/. I wouldnt leave stray links to chance thus giving bots the chance to find improperly setup canonical pages.

I recently found a bug on my server that was redirect a mail subdomain to my www I do not even have a mail subdomain in my account setings. It must be an internal sub domain configured by the hosting people. Well I used my htaccess to fix it. http://mail.travelconnecxion.com Please, I cannot stress the importance of having all your canonical domains go to one authoritative domain. It is also important if you have an SSL on your server. 301 redirect HTTPS to HTTP, same time excluding the HTTPS that you actually need. There is a problem redirecting index.xxx to a folder because of the infinite loop effect. A nice trick is to check the server request for index.xxx HTTP/ using an Apache condition statement.
