URL Canonicalization

A recent issue with the Google:

“Canonicalization” it can be a problem for some websites ~ the webpage looks the same to the human viewer but to the search engine robot - they are different.

Canonicalization is the process of picking the best URL when there are several choices, and it usually refers to home pages. For example, most people would consider these the same URLs:

http://EG.co.uk

http://www.EG.co.uk/

http://EG.co.uk/index.htm

http://www.EG.co.uk/index.html

Solution: Make sure that you only point links to the same url: www.eg.co.uk
Usually a 301 redirect resolves the problem with all the old pages.
