Website indexed with IP address

Hello,

I have a website that has a dedicated IP address. Because of this pages on this site can also be accessed with the IP address (e.g. http://123.123.123.123/page.html) and this creates duplicated content.

How can I resolve this issue?

One solution would be to use the <link rel=“canonical” href=“…”> tag in the header of each page, with the preferred format of the URL in the href attribute. There may also be more technical solutions, but this one will tell Google that the two URLs give the same page and which one you want it to use.

Thanks. The site is a phpbb 2 forum. Is there an easy way to automatically generate the canonical link tag for it?
