Hello, I was just wondering why Mojo is set by default to rel="canonical" to  www.homepage.com/home.aspx instead of just www.homepage.com. It creates 3 versions of the homepage: http://yoursiteroot/, http://yoursiteroot/Default.aspx, and http://yoursiteroot/home.aspx which is fine since you rel="canonical" them, but why default to www.homepage.com/home.aspx. If someone were to link to a website they most likely aren't going to link to www.homepage.com/home.aspx, they'll link to www.homepage.com which makes that link juice flow through the canonical to www.homepage.com/home.aspx right? Why make that extra loop at all? Wouldn't that be splitting the juice?

I know 301's loose 1-5 % juice, but not sure about canonical. I assume it works the same way.

Thanks

Hi Joe,

Thanks for your help! Would you agree that it would be wise from an SEO standpoint to set the rel="canonical" to www.homepage.com instead of www.homepage.com/home.aspx for the backlink reason I mentioned above?

Thanks again.
