canonical tags

Anyone paying attention to canonical tags? I'm reading that Google is really emphasizing the importance of these? How are they different from meta tags?

The main purpose of the canonical tag is to tell search engines which URL you want to rank in search when you have two URLs with similar content.

Canonical tags are used to remove duplicate url for same webpages. for example when a website opens with different url like www.abc.com, http:// abc.com and http://www.abc.com then this type of problem is called canonical issue. You can remove this by using canonical tags in HTML coding of websites.

The canonical tag is a new tag proposed by Google, designed to minimize crawl errors and the indexing of duplicate content in your website. Support for the tag has been adopted by most of the search engines, and it’s a good idea to add to your own website if you want to get your best search engine rankings. So let’s take a look at the canonical tag.

Canonical tags help the search engines know which way you prefer the page to be indexed in those search engines and also let them know that this page is really just one page–not three.

<link rel=”canonical” href=”http://www.nameslot.com/” />
