Google employee Matt Cutts offers some SEO advice on URL canonicalization. Canonicalization is the process of picking the best url when there are more than one choice. Home pages are a good example where http://somesite.com/ and http://somesite.com/index.htm are the same pages. Google uses canonicalization when it spiders your sites and attempts to make the best guess at the best URL. However Matt makes a few suggestion on how you can help Google make the best choice!
