    Default NEW : Canonical Link Tag

    Google, Microsoft, Yahoo all together announced a new tag to resolve the duplicate content problem.

    Syntax is pretty simple. Lets say you have this ugly url
    Code:
    http://www.example.com/page.html?sid=asdf314159265
    and you want to tell search engines that the url is actually
    Code:
    http://www.example.com/page.html
    To accomplish that you just put code like this in the HEAD part of the document:
    Code:
    <link rel="canonical" href="http://example.com/page.html"/>

    Good move from search engines I guess. This will certainly help many solve the canonical issue with less technical knowledge.

    I haven't watch the video but i read the article that way it is more clearer to me to understand it. I already read this..it was posted on Google Blog and i'm just recalling about how this tag would help in dealing the dupe content issue..any thoughts on what you have watched? I'm asking to get some explanation..or point of view..so do you have any idea?
