Hi Matt, I have the same sandwich for lunch every day. Will I be punished by Google for duplicate content? Can the canonical tag help me here? I just can’t get enough Reuben sandwiches!

Not really, it doesn’t work in meat space/sandwich space yet! It only works in web space! He says, he can’t get enough of Reuben sandwiches. Power to you! Although, Reubens are a little bit bad for you. You might consider turkey, ham, a little thin BLT. So tasty! Anyway, don’t worry about that – canonical tag is helpful … so you can clean up the architecture of your site.

Don’t worry about having the same sandwich for lunch every day.

  1. A question to non-intended duplicate content: If an online shop can be reached through several TLDs (like .de, .at, .ch) and the only difference is the currency, (and necessarily the checkout process) does Google consider this duplicate content? What can be done?
  2. Will DiggBar create duplicate content issues? For example, my site is www.example.com and now when you add digg.com before my site’s address (digg.com/example.com), it is showing a page from Digg.com with my content (exactly the same).

  4. In regards to new canonicalization tag, does it make sense for large corporations to consider placing that tag on every page due to marketing tracking codes and large levels of duplicate URLs like faceted pages and load balancing servers?
  5. Will the new canonical tag help with issues where you by accident (stupid editors linking to wrong addresses) have indexed sites by the IP address rather than hostname?
