Canonical URL Module Module

The bretteleben.de "Canonical URL" Module for Joomla 1.5 allows to set selective the - supported by Google from this month on - "Canonical URLs" in the HEAD of single Pages. This helps to prevent being punished for delivering DuplicateContent and to concentrate PageRank to the main URL, if a page can be reached from different URLs.

New in Version 1.1:
- possibility to run multiple instances against one page

Features:
- replace single parts of the path
- remove unwanted GET-parameters
- set a fixed URL

Does the job for me. We are told that duplicate content can affect page rank, so I have used this mod to specify canonical pages. Because it is a mod rather than a plug-in, you can put it on just the pages you want it to apply to.

I needed a solution to stop Google indexing URL's with different parameter strings as different URL's. This module enabled me to add canonical tags to every page in the website in just a few minutes. With over 1000 pages, this was a great timesaver!

Thanks very much

This should be a must have in all Joomla SEO. But i'm not for sure if this should be a plugin or a module.
Read the documentation on developer site, so you won't screw up your ranking.
