Canonicalization on more than one page?

[sakeith]

is it proper to "canocalize" more than one page in a site? Or should it only be on the home page?

eg: http://www.sundayschoolnetwork.com">

hi,

you can do more than one page:

http://www.sundayschoolnetwork.com/pageaboutscheduls">

http://www.sundayschoolnetwork.com/pageaboutbustimes">

you wouldn't want http://www.sundayschoolnetwork.com"> on every page.

the point of this is to say to google "hey, this is the authoritative page about this  specific topic on our site - if you see other URL's similar to this one, use this"

You can canonicalize pretty much any page to any other page that you would like. If the page is a duplicate of the canon page or a subset of data/copy/info taken from the canon page's superset then Google will use the canonical as a signal to push link equity to the canon page like a 301 without the redirect part.

Yes.

You should/could use the canonical tag to specify your preferred version of pages with identical content. This can be the homepage or any other pages within your site.
