Google released an article hinting that you should specify your preferred version of your page(s). And when Google "hints" something, you'd be stupid not to make it a standard in your procedures! By using canonical links, you are telling Google which page is the "original" or "preferred" page, of a page that can have multiple variations that are identical or very similar.<div class="crp_related"><h3>Related Posts:</h3><ul><li><a href="http://www.ponder.co.za/a-basic-guide-for-how-to-build-a-search-engine-optimisation-seo-friendly-website/"     class="crp_title">A basic guide for how to build a Search Engine Optimisation&hellip;</a></li><li><a href="http://www.ponder.co.za/landing-page-optimisation-lpo-for-beginners/"     class="crp_title">Landing Page Optimisation (LPO) for Beginners</a></li><li><a href="http://www.ponder.co.za/the-google-1-chrome-extension-has-arrived%e2%80%a6/"     class="crp_title">The Google 1 Chrome Extension has arrived…</a></li><li><a href="http://www.ponder.co.za/is-aspx-or-php-better-for-seo/"     class="crp_title">Is aspx or php better for SEO?</a></li><li><a href="http://www.ponder.co.za/google-pushes-all-ad-campaigns-to-the-bottom-of-the-page/"     class="crp_title">Google pushes all Ad campaigns to the bottom of the page</a></li></ul></div>]]></description>
