      I've built a few sites using joomla (please don't tell me I should be using wordpress!!) and wondered how I can add the rel-canonical to these pages.

      I'm assuming it would come as a plugin or module but can't seem to find anything that works right for me.

      Anyone any ideas?

      Thanks in advance,

      Gordon

          I only use Joomla. My favorite extension for seo is shSEF404. Here you can control all the meta data and page titles but also set rel=canonical. Connect to google analytics among other features.

            Bryan,

            I've just purchased this and set it up. I'm only just getting to grips with it, but it is an awesome bit of kit, and I'm really happy to have dived in and installed it after your recommendation.

            Thanks for that!

            • I have a Rel Canonical "notice" in my Crawl Diagnostics report. I'm presuming that means that the spider has detected a rel canonical tag and it is working as opposed to warning about an issue, is this correct?
