Understanding Bing’s Toolbox

Before Bing launched, many people speculated what it would offer. Webmasters, developers, and advertisers were primarily concerned with the Toolbox. As Rajesh Srivastava of Bing tells WebProNews, there were three important principles that Bing wanted to convey with their Toolbox.

Is the canonical tag a better option than a 301 redirect? As Greg Grothaus of Google explains, the 301 redirect was the previous recommendation for duplicate page situations.
