Introduction

Extension Specific, K2 extensions

Do you care about SEO? Are you tired of being penalized by Google for having a duplicate content?


With our plugin you will get real canonical links for your K2 articles/tags/categories. We've tried all other solutions, tried Joomla 3 native solution, and found out that they all had issues, as reported on various forums around the web.

We care about SEO, so we decided to develop our own plugin, to have real K2 canonical links.

Don't worry anymore if you can reach a K2 article with links like:

www.example.com/article
www.example.com/category/article
www.example.com/tag1/article
www.example.com/tag2/article

All of them will have the same canonical link!

Same goes for tags like

www.example.com/tag1
www.example.com/category1/tag/tag1
www.example.com/category2/tag/tag1

or categories

www.example.com/category2
www.example.com/category1/content/category2

Even user views are supported!

Furthermore, it will detect if an article/tag/category has a direct link in the menu and use it as the canonical version, attention is payed so that the most appropriate link is chosen!

Works with Joomla 2.5 and 3.x!

I must say I was very frustrated dealing with duplicate issues with K2 until I found this extension.



Very straight forward, very easy to install.



In the beginning there was some issues due to another canonical plugin for the regular content of Joomla I installed before, it did not allow the extension to work properly.



I contacted the developers, they answered immediately and solved my issue in no time. Great Tech Support! If you use K2 this is a must have.

PERFECT REVIEW

I was having an issue with duplicate content and needed a quick solution.



This plugin works excellent for that purpose and helps your content to maintain one URL no matter where it's used on the site. Very simple to install and setup too!
Recently we moved from Joomla 1.5 to Joomla 2.5 on a site with a big collection of recipes so this plugin is extreamly big help for us.



Bye, bye duplicate content!



Great job. Thanks! :)
Works as promised, and Marko helped clarify some issues related to duplicate content caused by k2 and weird crawls by Google.
