Hello Friends,

A canonical tag is an html element that helps webmaster prevent copy content issues by specifying the canonical or preferred version of a web page as part of search engine optimization.

The canonical tag passes the same amount of link juice as a 301 redirect and often take much less development time to implement.

Another option for dealing with duplicate content is to utilize the rel=canonical tag. The rel=canonical tag passes the same amount of link juice (ranking power) as a 301 redirect, and often takes much less development time to implement. The tag is part of the HTML head of a web page.

A canonical tag specifies the source URL (or original content page) of a given page to a search engine such as Google. Canonical tags are used to declare a single page as its own source or for duplicate pages to reference their source / originating page. Search Engines use the canonical tag to combat duplicate content issues and assign search engine ranking value for that content to the page designated as the “source” URL.
