Can I use canonical links outside of the head section?

[jcmoreno]

I been implementing a Joomla site and my site has different ways of accessing several links therefore I need to use the canonical tag.

Now I'm using Joomla 1.6, and most of the extensions that I've seen until now don't provide me the expected or they do other things that I just don't want.

Therefore other than modifying the code or creating an extension myself I've decided to look into placing the canonical elements in the page.

Unfortunately you can't, as Dr. Pete explained in the following blog post: http://www.seomoz.org/blog/6-extreme-canonical-tricks

A great article. I'd suggest you read through that post completely.

I see, it was a long shot anyways.

Thank you for your response and for the referral.
