Canonical Advice

    I’m a bit of a newbie at this, so bear with me please.

    I’m designing a website that will have a main page with three images, each containing a quote from articles. The links will take the reader to a writer’s forum where the articles will be written in full.

    What I don’t want is a host of forum url’s each competing for SEO, eg:

    all the www's.url page title/forum/topic.php?id=15675
    all the www's.url page title/forum/topic.php?id=15676
    all the www's.url page title/forum/topic.php?id=15677 … ad infinitum!

    Would it be good practice to put a canonical back to the main page on each of the articles, or even a 301 redirect, even though the articles aren’t on the main page? I’m looking to target one page for promotion.
