Cross Domain Canonical Tag is the second generation canonical tag. In the latest SMX East conference session Joachim Kupke, senior software engineer of Google's indexing team announced that by the end of the year the search engine will offer cross-domain support for the canonical tag. The announced that it will support the usage of rel=”canonical” link element across different domains is a great help to webmasters.
The new update will help webmasters maintain the same content on two domains without having a content duplicate issue. The priority will be given to one domain/page and only one domain/page will appear in the search result. Danny Sullivan one the experts recalled the announcement in an interview with Mike McDonald of WebProNews, adding that he and other webmasters had been eager for such a solution for some time. So it is great time for all the webmasters. This change will help in increasing traffic to the original source. Traffic Creation will be one of the features this new change is going to bring in. I have been waiting for this change. Bing and Yahoo will not support Cross Domain Canonical Tag. The tag is going to improve search results in Google search engine. I hope that soon Yahoo and Bing too accepts this standard canonical tag format.
