Canonical Link Element From Google

posted by Christopher on February 25, 2009

{{chris}} 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:
