It takes months regain just a portion of the links our old site had. Second it sounds like its a universal nofollow tag. Supposedly no follow tags are only applicable to google and not all the major search engines. First off I just recently did a 301 redirect, it was the biggest mistake I have ever made.

Will look at how we can implement this. I see a few of the posters say there are issues but we will need to try it out for ourselves.

Most of the popular Wordpress themes caused you to end up having some pages indexed with the tag version while others went straight to the post or category. This should help clean all that duplcate content up and allow us to produce better SEO blogs and websites. Duplicate content from tags, categories and such has always been a concern for me.

I've seen it in action and it does suffer from duplicate content sometimes as well as other various issues. As far as having the canonical link I guess it would be helpful if you want to specify a particular link to google, but google tends to find the best content and display it. I don't mess with what google does on its own. Magento is overrated if you ask me. I’ve seen it in action and it does suffer from duplicate content sometimes as well as other various issues.

Magento shops suffer from duplicate content issues sometimes, but there is now a canonical plugin which helps to avoid this issue. Thanks for the thorough explanation.
