My Website is for Web Design purposes, so it is a Single-Page Site (just my Home page)..
However, by SEO standards, there are still multiple url's that land at the same homepage.
I have already set the rel="canonical" tag in the head, but still need to set 301 redirects
to point to my Canonical URL at http://www.example.com/
Keep in mind I want the www, as well as the trailing forward slash "/"..
My CPanel isnt capable, so I've concluded I need to add the code to my HTaccess file.
MY GOAL: Redirect traffic that lands on any of the following url's, to my Canonical URL..
example.com
example.com/
http://ift.tt/2lT3iYi
www.example.com
http://ift.tt/1s8YSqc
TO MY CANONICAL AT: http://www.example.com/
MY PREVIOUS ATTEMPTS:
I attempted in part using my cPanel, but it ended up looking like this:
RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example\.com$ [OR] RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www\.example\.com$ RewriteRule ^default\.html$ "http\:\/\/www\.example\.com\/" [R=301,L]
I also read a popular SEO Site's article, suggesting using:
RewriteEngine On RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example\.com RewriteRule (.*) http://ift.tt/VAk5HC [R=301,L] NOTE: Some Versions of Apace require an extra line or two of code for SymLinks and a different structure of the rewrite rule as follows: RewriteEngine On Options +FollowSymlinks RewriteBase / RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^example\.com$ [NC] RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://ift.tt/VAk5HC [R=301,L]
MY QUESTION:
For what I listed as my GOAL above, which is redirecting anybody landing on ANY of those URL's, to my preferred Canonical URL (also listed above), what EXACTLY would be the CORRECT code I should enter into my HTaccess file, to accomplish this?
HUGE Thank you to anybody who can assist me with this..
Thanks in advance, It's much appreciated..

PS. I've checked the reccomended related links on this site, and the ones i've found are mostly related to forcing HTTPS and/or a separate goal than mine.
Thanks again in advance for any help provided!
