    issues?
    I believe it was created to clear up duplicate content issues :confused:

    Take a single post in a wp blog titled Post 1.

    This can show up on the homepage, the category it's assigned to, and the tags section it is assigned to giving many copies of the same post.

    Using the canonical tag you can tell Google what page to consider the original thus eliminating any duplicate content issues on your site.

    This also works for onsite search modules and category product listings that have more than one page.
    So a category of widgets might have 100 products listing 25 products (widgets) at a time:
    www.somesite.com/widgets.php?page=1
    www.somesite.com/widgets.php?page=2
    www.somesite.com/widgets.php?page=3
    www.somesite.com/widgets.php?page=4
    Google sees each one of these as being different pages but with virtually the same content (meta tags, title, category content that is static, etc..)
    Using the canonical tag you would say that www.somesite.com/widgets.php is the main page and that all of the rest of the pages belong to it thereby eliminating any duplicate content issues.

    Hope this helps
