Hey Guys,
Would it be possible to use javascript to place canonical tags on each on of my pages, to save me adding them all individually?

Kind Regards
Paul

What is a cononical tag?

Can you give an example?

You can use JavaScript to add this to a page after it had loaded, but that means that the main search engines will never see it, which probably defeats the purpose of it...

Yes, and No ... What does that mean?

What is the "this" that you are adding to a page?

:eek:

@savvykmsJun 21.2011 — example taken from http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2009/02/specify-your-canonical.html:
[code=html]<link rel="canonical" href="http://www.example.com/product.php?item=swedish-fish" />[/code]

Sounds like using server-side technology would help you a lot more; most web crawlers do not support javascript, thus it will in all probably work with very few search engines. You could, however, write a Perl script or something similar to walk through a list of files and add in the tag manually.

Thank you, so reading through these threads it is possible to create an automated canonical tag but they might not work?

I find it difficult to determine if I can help when you ask questions, but don't respond to ours. :rolleyes:

The links posted also are broken. :eek:
