    Pick a canonical URL format

     Can anyone  help with this or point me to a solution

    The page with URL rentagent/" can also be accessed by using URL rentagent/Default.aspx".
    Search engines identify unique pages by using URLs.  When a single page can be accessed by using any one of multiple URLs, a search engine assumes that there are multiple unique pages. Use a single URL to reference a page to prevent dilution of page relevance. You can prevent dilution by following a standard URL format.

    Hello Rickj1,

    You should be able to achieve what you're looking for through URL rewriting. The URL rewrite solution I'd recommend is to use the URL Rewrite Module for IIS. In fact, IIS.net has a great article on SEO and canonical URLs at the following URL:

    I hope that answers your question!
