Blogger.com automatically add rel="canonical" on your template
Wednesday, July 15, 2009Hello Readers, last month, exactly at the post entitled SEO Tips: Add "rel=Canonical" into Blogger, Kang Rohman gave the SEO tips on how to add the rel="canonical" on blogger template. Now you do not need to follow the tips because blogger.com has automatically added the code of rel="canonical" on your template with the condition that you do not remove the code:
<b:include data='blog' name='all-head-content'/>
To check it, please visit your own blog, and then view the source code. Confused to view the source code, below is the way:
For Internet Explorer:
Click the menu: View >> Source.
For Fire Fox:
Click menu: View >> Page Source. Or press the button Ctrl+U on your keyboard.
Then the entire code of your template will appear. Please check the code contents rel='canonical' . Example of kang Rohman’s as this:
<meta content='text/html; charset=UTF-8' http-equiv='Content-Type'/>
<meta content='true' name='MSSmartTagsPreventParsing'/>
<meta content='blogger' name='generator'/>
<link href='http://www.blogger.com/favicon.ico' rel='icon' type='image/vnd.microsoft.icon'/>
<link href='http://www.blogspottutorial.com/' rel='canonical'/>
It means that blogger has added the code rel='canonical' on your template.
If you have followed the previous tutorial from Kang Rohman and you have added the code as follows on your template:
<link expr:href='data:blog.url' rel='canonical'/>
You had better remove it because blogger has added automatically the code to your template.
