    Canonical tag are use for to resolve the issue of duplication,if you don't use this tag google search engine will be confuse and your content will be listed as duplicated content.Here is very simple example

    How to Use Canonical?

    if you have a page abc.com

    <link rel="canonical" href="http://example.com/">
    Now the second will be

    <link rel="canonical" href="http://abc.com/web-design/">
    So place canonical in all of your website pages

    Canonical tags are used to declare a single page as its own source or for duplicate pages to reference their source page.Duplicate content issues occur when the same content is accessible from multiple URLs.

      Then why did you comment? I guess it's sort of honest to admit that you don't know instead of posting falsehoods and lies like many here do, but BS comment is a BS comment.

      Links in signature will not help your SEO. Not on this site, and not on any other forum.
      Who told me this? An ex Google web spam engineer.

      What's your excuse?
