Canonical links and instance number in urls


  • Subject: Canonical links and instance number in urls

Hi List,

We have a possible issue on our web sites with google thinking we have duplicate content because the following reach the same page:

..../5/wa/....
..../wa/...

I am not quite sure where google gets the links containing instance numbers, but we would be ok with it if we could include a canonical link instruction in the page head, to give the correct url.

I don't want to include the canonical link in the head if the url is correct already, in the second case above. Perhaps this is allowed but it doesn't seem very nice, I would prefer only to give such a link when I know the url seen in the browser isn't the canonical one.

But I am struggling to know within the application what actually was the original url seen in the user's browser.

When I log out request.uri() I *always* see the instance number in the url, e.g. .../1/wa/... (for either of the above examples) which is ok, but it means I can't tell whether the real original url seen in the browser is the canonical form or not (the one without the instance number).

Help!

John
