Canonical issue – big word for a big problem you are probably at risk of right now.

Do you know what a canonical issue is? Is your site susceptible to a canonical issue?

A canonical issue can wreak havoc on your site in the search results, potentially causing the search engines to penalize your site and remove pages from your site from their results! Fortunately you’re reading this article and will learn the quick fix.

When we talk about canonical issues, what we mean is does your site properly handle www versus non-www URLs. As a quick test, type http://yoursite.com into the browser. Be sure to leave off the www. Does the URL redirect to the www version? If not, you are at risk.

Question of
the Month

Can I buy #1 placement in Google? I got an email saying I could and that it would only cost $79.95.

This is a classic SEM scam. Do you think that a company would need to resort to cold calling and spam in order to sell this form of "expert sponsored link management?" Don't fall for this trick.

Find out why you need to avoid scams like this...
