Does url's with canonical pass link juice to underlying pages?

Hi,

It is worth remembering that a canonical just suggests to Google, which is the preferred page to index and serve. This helps stop duplication issues. What is doesn't do is place a block on a page and prevent anything else being crawled from there on in. You would need to add a nofollow and noindex for that to happen. If someone lands on a canonical page within the site, they can still browse around from there.

Think of a canonical as a less drastic action than a 301. PR will flow via a canonical in the same way as a 301 as well, but doesn't just stop there.

I hope this helps.
