pray

DarkJedi · 02-13-2009, 09:32 AM

anyway, how would you implement this into blogs for better indexing?

i'm thinking adding this to singe posts, so they dont get mixed up with many "previous" pages

now we just need a nice wordpress plugin to make this simple

So does this add <link rel="canonical"> to every new blog post? and basically try and protect you from someone duping your content? or am I way off?

alexchechs · 02-13-2009, 10:43 AM

Thats a good little tip...

Not really. It is more to stop the same content on your site getting indexed 3-4 different ways (which trips the duplicate content filters and hurts your reputation).
