RSSeo! System Plugin, located in the Plugin Manager has 2 important options:
- sitemap verification
- canonicalization.
Sitemap verification
Google Webmasters Tools must verify the website before submitting a sitemap using one of the methods: meta tag verification or upload an HTML file.
Site verification can be done easier with System RSSeo! plugin by placing a meta tag in the page source code.
To enable meta tag verification, in the backend panel click on Extensions -> Plugin Manager -> System RSSeo!.
In the Plugin Parameters, set to "Yes" the sitemap verification.
In the Webmasters Tools account select from the verification method "meta tag". A meta tag will be generated.
Copy the content and paste it to the System RSSeo! Parameters to the Content box.
After site verification, you can disable the sitemap configuration.

Canonicalization
With the System RSSeo! plugin can be set a permanent redirect from the non-wwww version to the www-version or viceversa to avoid duplicate content.
To enable the permanent redirect called "Canonicalization", set the Canonicalization from the Plugin Parameters to "Yes" and type the preferred domain.
Examples:
- If you want a permanent redirect from www.mydomain.com to mydomain.com write in the Domain Name the version without www.
- If you want a permanent redirect from mydomain.com to www.mydomain.com write in the Domain Name the version with www.
- If you want a permanent redirect from mydomain.com to mydomain.net write in the Domain Name mydomain.net
Remove generator link
By default Joomla! adds a generator link. This is used to identify a website that has been created with Joomla!. By using the RSSeo! System, you can remove this particular meta tag.
