Canonical URLs relate to the concept of selecting the best URL for the web pages that the visitors want to see. Also, known as canonical tags, these URLs help in content syndication when multiple versions of a same page become available over the Internet. Thus, it is used to resolve issues related to content duplication.

Hi Friends,
A canonical link element is an HTML element that helps webmasters prevent duplicate content issues in search engine optimization by specifying the "canonical" or "preferred" version of a web page. It is described in RFC 6596, which went live in April 2012.

The canonical tag is used to tell the search engines what URL you want them to index if there are multiple URLs with the same content. If each URL containing duplicate content has a canonical tag pointing to the URL you want to be indexed and ranked.

A Canonical URL is a direct connection to a product's detail page which has key words pulled by Amazon, apparently arbitrarily, in the product's name and separated by hyphens. In the SEO world, this is usually known as the URL slug.

A canonical tag (aka "rel canonical") is a way of telling search engines that a specific URL represents the master copy of a page. Using the canonical tag prevents problems caused by identical or "duplicate" content appearing on multiple URLs.

Canonical URL is the preferred URL for search engine bots. For example: If you have two similar pages or their can be many versions of a page and Google bot will treat each page as a different page. Which can cause duplicate content issue and your site can be demoted in the search results for the same. In such cases, you have to tell to the bot that which one is preferred URL and you want Google bot to look into that page only. Proper canonicalization is very important for an eCommerce website.

Hello,

Canonical occurred when your two pages have the same content, but different URLs. That time Google confuse about which page gives priority. For that solution Google considers canonical tag. Canonical tag tells to Google that which page gives priority to index.
