Freeway index.html and Google Webmaster tools

I have recently moved from iWeb to Freeway.

When i was using iWeb and also using Google Webmaster Tools i was often getting comments via the forum that the iWeb index.page was not set up correctly… and i should change it…

When i moved to Freeway i hoped that the old comment about the index page would fade away!!!. Howeve i have a recent issue with Google Webmaster tools were my Search enquires are not being shown (this is for over a month now) I started a thread on the Goolge forum ( whilst i was still using iWeb) which you can see at

http://groups.google.com/a/googleproductforums.com/forum/#!searchin/webmasters/ejwjohn/webmasters/ac2jl7JDg-Y/d-Cy2ULUs7cJ

The latest post seems to be inferring that the use of the Freeway Index.html page for navigation is not a good thing … Can anyone on this forum assist me on this issue please? do i need to change the way i set up Hyper links in Freeway?

Hope this post makes sense??

Thanks for your continued help

There is a school of thought in Google Analytics users that you should not be “splitting” your visits between the bare domain www.example.com/ and the index.html page Example Domain. The idea behind this is that the search engines consider this to be “duplicate content”, or the same content available at two different addresses, and thus will punish you with lower ranking for your home page. I don’t hold with that idea. I doubt sincerely that Google (who have done more work to index the Web than anyone else by a long mile) would be quite that dumb.
