Author Topic: Canonical URL mod (SEO) (Read 4650 times)

Does anyone know of if there is a canonical URL mod.

Each image in my gallery can have at least 2 URLs depending on whether it came through search results or not. For example, the following URLs refer to the same image:

http://www.jeyjoo.com/gallery/img254.search.htm
http://www.jeyjoo.com/gallery/img-green-spider-on-red-strawberry-254.htm

To counter this I want to add a canonical URL in the head section of my each page - of the form:

<link rel="canonical" href="http://www.jeyjoo.com/gallery/img-green-spider-on-red-strawberry-254.htm" />

The canonical link is supported by Google, and tells asearch angine which of the mutliple URLs to give importance to (link juice).

Does anyone know of a mod for this.

Much appreciated

well i have done it by putting the file code in my php based header.php file.

if(isset($_GET['page'])) {

$url = substr($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], 0, strpos($_SERVER['REQUEST_URI'], '?') );

echo '<link rel="canonical" href="http://www.yoursite.com' . $url . '" />';

}

you can modify the

if(isset($_GET['page']

part and replace page with img
