Just goes to show, pretty much anything can be done with Wordpress.

The "Canonical URL" setting is a way to tell Google (and hopefully other engines someday) what the proper URL for a post on your site is. By default, most blogging and e-commerce platforms provide multiple ways to get to any given post or product. Each of those will often alter the URL to the post so that you may have the following scenario: domain.com/post domain.com/tags/post domain.com/category/post domain.com/archive/date/post or domain.com/products/new/product domain.com/products/colors/red/product domain.com/products/womens/product Each of those individual URLs all deliver exactly the same content. That's known as duplicate content and search engines don't like it. The Canonical URL tells Google that no matter what URL they found the page at, only index and display this one. Google has said they understand and can deal with these types of URLs, however they are also the driving force behind the use of Canonical URLs so it seems logical that we should use them. Hope this helps you & your readers understand them better. If not, feel free to stop by my site or drop me a line. Jack Liz,

Some will automatically update and some don't. I found this site that explains Canonical URL in detail: http://www.wealthydragon.com/blog/2009/04/22/all-in-one-seo-pack-pagerank/ Hi Liz,
