bflicker from Los Angeles, CA asks: "If we were to syndicate my written content (entire articles) to multiple domains then would we be able to use the imminent cross-domain link rel="canonical" tag to confirm which site we would like to index for a given piece of content?"

Note: This video was recorded on December 4, 2009. We have since officially announced support for cross-domain uses of rel="canonical". Please see this blog post for more information:

  • If anyone has a list of article sites where you are able to do this that would be very helpful.

  • but i thought you can't use rel="canonical" with 2 different domains:  Can u do this? ezinearticles/brilliantarticle to mysite/brilliantarticle

  • Can we somehow apply it to parts of a page? Say, there are 3 articles on a web page, and one of them is mine.. Can i somehow specify rel=canonical for my stuff only?

  • @incrediblehelp

    EzineArticles, for example

  • Sure you can use it, but what websites let you add code like that with your content?
