Wow I can't believe how many wrong answers there are here. Sorry, but half of them are about 301 redirects. <--- wow.
One guy said it best tho... Ramesh. It's about duplicate content, and here is a way to explain it. You have two pages which are almost entirely the same content for whatever reason. Page A - has content about cars /pagea Page B - has the same content about cars, but has a different URL. /pageb Page A is what you want listed in Google and where you want the traffic to really go to. So you set a canoncial tag on PAGE B... (the canonical tag lists page A) to say that Page A is the place the visitors and the engines should go. Page A will get priority, and you are telling the search engines pretty much this: "Hey, I have two pages with the same content, but I am setting the canonical URL to page A okay? This way I won't have any duplicate content issues." Search Engine: "Okay thanks! We will make sure and list page A and not page B, thanks for letting us know, you won't have a duplicate content issue now." There's your answer. Hope that helps. |
