You can never "fix" canonical for real for a site. Take any site URL, and add... http://www.example.com/?utm_source=whatever&ovcpn=whatever

Wouldn't you just do...

<link rel="canonical" href="http://www.example.com/" />

Ya, there are all sorts of neat things you can add onto a URI string and still have it resolve to the destination page. I've seen all sorts of tricks in this area over the years. ;)

I'll keep me eye on its usage and see how others are doing in the process. It's still way too early for me to jump on the bandwagon. We typically manage ours at the server level so it is not relevant for us. Although I may find myself looking at its use when I need to do something quickly while we get the proper solution in place. :)

Canonical Name
The actual name of a resource.
