What is rel="canonical"?

[arianagrand]

Hello Guys, If you have two or more pages with similar content, you can tell google, which is your preferred page to show in the search engine results. This is referred to as your 'canonical' page.

Thanks and Regards ARIANA

If you have multiple pages of similar content then Google when it crawls through the pages considers as duplicate ones. In order to avoid the canonical tag is used where in google just considers only the specific page for indexing which avoids duplicate pages.
