Using Canonical Tags to Boost Lead Form Rankingposted in White Hat / Black Hat SEO
I presently have a number of whitepapers that bring traffic to our site. If a visitor elects to download the whitepaper they are taken to a lead form with an abstract of the whitepaper. The abstract is present because the visitor may or may not have come to the lead form directly.
I imagine this would be a "no no," but how do you feel about placing a canoncial tag on a whitepaper that points to the lead form w/ abstract?
The obvious idea being to take the umph of a whitepaper to direction search visitors directly to the lead form.
