[Groundhog]

Thanks for this mod vmgamer.

Appears an error when I tried to install the mod in the Pakage zone.... in the 1.1.10 version.

So I installed it manually and works perfect!!!!

Thank you very much!, Improving SEO!

Greetings.

I hard coded mine like this (added on the line after after the Canonical Tag code):

Code Select Expand


elseif ($context['page_title'] == 'Some Bands I Like - Index')
echo '
<link rel="canonical" href=http://www.somebandsilike.com/ />';

Obviously change the page title to match your index page's title, and the href to your index page's url.

Thanks! I think code like this should be include in the mod for perfection. Great for SEO!

Or you can use this

Code Select Expand


  if (isset($context['current_action']) &&  $context['current_action'] == 'someaction')
      echo '
   <link rel="canonical" href=http://www.somebandsilike.com/ />';

You must change someaction tou what you want.

Love this mod, i think it should be included in smf by default

[InfoStrides]

Please, I am curious about these questions:

What is the relationship between this mod and PrettyURLs?
Can they be used together?

[InfoStrides]

In addition: Is it similar to H tags?

[Mr. Jinx]

Love this mod, i think it should be included in smf by default

In SMF 2.0 it is installed by default

[InfoStrides]

I successfully installed the mod and observed the difference in the source code. I am waiting for its action on my site PR.

Thanks to the mod author!

Canonical is native in SMF 2RC3?

[PLAYBOY]

Is there any difference between this mod and http://custom.simplemachines.org/mods/index.php?mod=2129 this mod?
I have both of them in my forum... Do i really need both of them?

1.1.13

You need this one more than you need the other one.

This one tells search engines to consider pages as duplicates of each other as appropriate (which means you don't get penalised for duplicate content), the other affects meta tags which have no SEO benefit.

[PLAYBOY]

So i guess i should uninstall "KeyWords Generator (AutoKeywords)"

*shrug* It doesn't hurt, it just doesn't help.

I am getting a lot of duplicated content from google webmaster tools, how do I make this one page instead of 5 pages with the same content?

Thank you for the wonderful mod!  I thought I'd let everybody know that when I updated my forum from 2.0 RC5 to 2.0 Gold, I had to reinstall all my mods.  This mod installed without issues and without emulation.  Hope this info helps someone!

[Mr. Jinx]

You do not need to install this mod on 2.0 Gold.
Canonical support is included by default now.

[dougiefresh]

Sweet!  Now if only they would integrate the other 80 mods I have installed 

Anyways, thanks for the information!

[Xpresskonami]
