Comments on: Is Google Obeying Your Canonical Tag Directives? http://www.seoboy.com/is-google-obeying-your-canonical-tag-directives/ Heroic Feats of Search Engine Optimization Sun, 05 Feb 2012 01:49:00 +0000 hourly 1 http://wordpress.org/?v=3.5.1 By: Backup http://www.seoboy.com/is-google-obeying-your-canonical-tag-directives/comment-page-1/#comment-862 Backup Fri, 22 May 2009 12:22:09 +0000 http://www.seoboy.com/?p=1310#comment-862 We have a website that creates urls like this: http://www.domain.com/page.php?id=1236 and we can also give a name for these pages and then the url becomes: http://www.domain.com/page.php?id=page-name.

Because this means that for every page there are two urls, we have implemented the canonical tag so the page-name version gets preference. All I can say that for us it has done wonders! All the page-name versions of the pages are neatly indexed and we do not have any numeric id links showing up in the search results.

I guess the effectiveness of the canonical tag depends on its usage and our situation seems to be a perfect usage scenario for it.
