WordPress actually handles canonical issues for the user, so most bloggers don’t have to deal with this issue. WordPress also handles permalinks really well. If you have a site that isn’t wordpress hosted, then you might run into this. I do SEO for Dentist, and find that their sites frequently are indexed as both www and non-www.
Setting up 301 redirects as mentioned works really well most of the time, but sometimes things get tricky, especially on on query pages (like search pages). Google added a tag where you can specify which of the many variations you want Google to recognize. here is the code: Much easier than setting up 4 redirects for html, php, and the other various possibilities.

I was watching the Google Tips for Webmasters youtube videos the other day and they addressed this. Duplicate content penalty for something like this isn’t necessarily hurting your rank – that penalty is designed for multiple websites with the same content trying to spam.
What does hurt your rank is links going to each of the various pages. Instead of having all your “link juice” in one spot, it is spread out and less concentrated.

Before I don’t know what URL Canonicalization means but after reading your articles, I realize that I stumble a lot of websites having this problem and I guess they don’t know that it actually create a problem and reduce their earnings.

I usually use wordpress, and the theme handle this problem, but thanks for your tips, maybe for another framework this will work.

Even I wrote article on the same topic, few times back. canonicalization is really big problem as far as content duplication is matter. Our own site fight with us and we loose ranking.
