microsoft's bing search engine
May 28, 2009

The idea of being mere passengers on a ship meant to sail to the farthest points does not appeal to people who like to put their destiny into their own hands. They have the desire of maneuvering the ships themselves, of being able to be the ones to take it anywhere they want to.

Perhaps this is the reason why more and more people are succumbing to one of the most popular businesses around – affiliate marketing.

This video will give you some very good insight into how to correct duplicate content issues. Matt Cutts of Google will explain what the canonical element is and how Google, MSN, and Yahoo have agreed to use it. This link tag will help reduce the duplicate content issue and make the web search results more relevant. SEO’s have been searching for something like this for years. This will make my life and hopefully yours much easier when it comes to correcting duplicate content.
Towards the end of the video Matt gives you some links and more information. One of those links goes to Yoast’s blog. I recommend visiting this blog and getting the plugins he is giving you. Yoast created 3 plugins. One each for Wordpress, Magento, and Drupal. You can check out yoast’s post about the canonical link here. If you use Joomla you can choose between two plugins. Get a canonical plugin here or the SEO Canonical here.
