Canonical Link Element From Google

February 25th, 2009 Posted in SEO

Internet Marketing Toronto AKA Christopher Kata Google announced the Canonical Link Element tag and Ask! is supporting it too.

To help webmasters deal with duplicate content within their own site Google has developed a canonical link element. The new element allows webmasters to tell Google which version of a page of content is the master page. Google can then easily ignore the others.

For more on this new announcement have a look Matt Cutts post on the Google Webmaster Central Blog:
