Canonical Issues are related to the selection of the
proper home page of the particular website.
For example: Let us consider the website www.xyz.com. You
can find out canonical issue by fixing the www.xyz.com in the browser and also
find out whether it is working without www. And if does't work then your
website is facing canonical issues.
The canonical issue can be solved out through a 301
redirect through the Windows IIS interface(if the website runs on Windows
server).
A 301 redirect will tell the search engines that the
pages should be redirected to one URL type. This redirect will also ensure that
any link that reverse links to the wrong URL type will still be directed to the
correct URL type which will prevent search engine pointing to different or
illegal websites and also the confusion among search engine results will reduce
.
If Google discovers your webpages via multiple URLs, it
is going to declare them as duplicate. Hence, you need to tell Google about
your preferred URL by adding rel=”canonical to your preferred version:
Example being
<link rel="canonical"
href="http://www.example.com/product.php?item=swedish-fish" />
This will give an answer to your canonical related ques
