Any ideas on how Google +1 handles URLs and canonicals?

[Thos003]

If your URL string shows up in a search and they +1 the URL with the coding in it will the +1 transfer to the canonical page?

Example: site.com/locations/arizona/?utm_source=go gets a Google +1 from a user. The page itself has a canonical for site.com/locations/arizona/

Does google credit the canonical with the +1 or do they then have dup pages with separate +1 scores?

Hi Thomas,

The tests I've done show the +1 will go to the canonical url.  So in your case you will get a +1 on site.com/locations/arizona/
