On February 26, 2009, Google software engineer Matt Cutts collected questions on Google Moderator and answered many of them on video.
Terry Cox from Orlando, FL asked:
In regards to the 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?

Say the old page has better SEO and seach result is #1.. if another page is the canonical now.. does that old page position in the search result disappear?

Is the backdrop in your videos like the Flintstones backdrop or is there really a hallway back there where people walk by? I think if your backdrop was of something more relevant it would be more fun, just don't match the backdrop color with your wide assortment of T's and Polo's.

shouldn't the canonical tag be on the core pages? I dont see why it should be on tag pages, archives, categories, etc

What if the page with the canonical tag also includes a meta robots noindex and/or nofollow tag?
