After I 301 redirect duplicate pages to my rel=canonical page, do I need to add any tags or code to the non canonical pages?
If I am understanding you correctly, you shouldn't need to rel=canonical anything in this case if you are 301 redirecting everything. Typically you will use the rel=canonical if you are unable to implement a 301 or if a page can be accessed multiple ways, but has a unique URL. Implementing the 301 will direct the link juice from the duplicate pages to the "original" page. Also, just a note if you don't know already, IIS actually has a setting that enforces lowercase URLs and will automatically generate a redirect rule to implement them. Hope this helps. Mike
