New hint/directive that Google has implemented to help fight duplicate content worries.

Check it out here:

Interesting to say the least.

They announced this at SMX West. Other SE's are on board too now.

Prey to Google and you will get as much traffic you want :D

Let the blackhat exploits begin.

:error

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

There was one released yesterday :)

You're such an annoying little post whore. :mad:

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?

Thats a good little tip...

Interesting

good tip there :thumbsup

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).

good read

Thanks for the heads up! :)

Good news. Thanks for the tip...

I couldn't get the wp-canonical plugin to work.. anyone else?
