When the same URL is considered or treated as different ones, the problem is said canonical issue. Some time Google thinks "www.something.com" and "something.com" are two different URL, this becomes the reason for canonical issue.

"canonical url tag" to help webmasters and site owners eliminate self-created duplicate content in the index.

A canonical issue arises when 301 redirects are not properly in place. This means that your website can be accessed by search engines from several different URLs. This means that search engines can then potentially index your site under different URLs, meaning that it will look like a site of duplicated content.

Canonical URL defined as the preferred URL for the page content to be indexed in the Major Search Engines.

The Canonical tag is HTML element, that webmaster help prevent duplicate content issue by specifying the "preferred", version of a web page.

rel tag HTML code is <link rel="canonical" href="http://blog.example.com/dresses/green-dresses-are-awesome" />

It is difficult to choose best url if there are lots of url available. Canonical tag problem solve by using Canonical tag in html header.
