On February 26, 2009, Google software engineer Matt Cutts collected questions on Google Moderator and answered many of them on video.

Anders from Sweden asked:

Will the new canonical tag help with issues where you by accident (stupid editors linking to wrong addresses) have indexed sites by the IP address rather than hostname?

  • So when do we get the answer?

  • Hi McSnookerman,

    Matt checked on this and currently this use of rel="canonical" is not something that we support. However, it is something that we may want to support in the future.
