Hi,

Can self-referencing canonical tag(rel="canonical") inside article improve google rating?

The Case:

Company have 40 sites with original content and 1 main site with some of 40 sites articles.
Main site have rel="canonical" in each article

Should article in original site have also rel="canonical" for self-referencing?

example:

inside main network site(reference to other site):<link href="http://site7.com/article25" rel="canonical" />

inside original network site(self-reference):<link href="http://site7.com/article25" rel="canonical"/>

Thanks in advance
