Great new feature, …
Great new feature, thx. I’ve stuck to best practices to eliminate most duplicate content issues, but referrer tags have been an ongoing issue on at least 2 sites where I’ve done some SEO work. Great to have this tool to finally deal with that.

As to the video itself, please lose the subtitles, or at least make them way smaller. Matt speaks very clearly and at a good pace, so the text really isn’t needed, and just gets in the way.

How does google treat links tagged with the Google URL Builder???? Are these considered unique links with duplicate content?

You cite a url with …
You cite a url with a trailing slash as being a separate page from that of a url without the trailing slash; though I was under the impression that a browser performs a GET request specifying the page to retrieve (when at the root, this being “/”). So by that principal, how would a request even go out to the domain without (essentially) a request without the trailing slash? Is there any need to differentiate the two (being that, without the trailing slash, it doesn’t exist)?

Didn’t realize the subtitles could be turned off. Seems they came up by default earlier, but not they don’t. Thanks for that.

DeafTuber, you got me wrong. I got nothing against providing the option of subtitles at all, just don’t think they should be intrusive and mandatory as these were earlier. I actually consider screen readers in every site I build, and volunteer web services to a disabled sports group (which includes some deaf users), so I am decidedly more sensitive to the issue than most

Freekzero, I …
Freekzero, I disagree about the subtitles. Whether if the subject of this video SPEAKS clearly enough or not, there are millions of Deaf viewers who don’t have the same convenience of listening to audio instructions like you do.

I understand you take it for granted but please realize that the subtitles are of utmost importance for a large enough number of us to actual warrant such a easy-to-implement feature, that doesn’t “get in our way”.

I thank Matt Cutts for subtitling this video; equally.
