Welcome back.
We was in the course in this lecture, I will talk about duplicate content issues in your Web site,
which also comes under technical MCO.
And we have already talked about Zemel site maps.
You already know how to create them and how to submit them.
So we'll skip that and we'll talk about duplicate content issues, OK?
Like, we have this Web site, which is a blog type of Web site, and probably there shouldn't be any
issues with duplicate content for this site because we know what we are writing and we can easily differentiate
our way of different Web pages.
But in case like I have this page, Katsina state cameras and if I have another page, Kasina instead
blogging setup like I have now, this single page about casein, instead cameras and logging set up.
But if I could get two different pages like Gesine instead cameras in case you missed it, logging setup,
then those two pages will be with the similar content.
So Google may think like this is duplicate content, but now most of the bloggers and most of the Web
masters know it.
So they create just one single page.
But this problem, the duplicate problem may occur with different Web sites like e-commerce, Web sites,
e-commerce stores with so many products, very similar products, categories, tags and so many.
You are elds.
So one product may come with a different you are like one you URL is of that same product.
And then in the category, that same product has another Eurail and then a tag has another.
You are elford that's for that same product.
So that means the content is same, but that is accessible through two, three or four different.
You are orals which makes it a duplicate content and duplicate content is before it was a very bad practice
and Google used to do it.
Do you rank your site and penalize your site?
But now Google will not penalize your site for duplicate content because Google knows that so many,
many of the Web sites on the Internet have this same issue.
So they have just discontinued their practice.
But Google actually recommends and suggest to you to use canonical you Aurel and avoid duplicate content
because Google has to struggle with all of your pages, you know, to rank them and to process them.
That is why this cannot niccol religion up that page.
Like RCL, this canon nickel is a page basically you can use inside the links in Bida for this is included
for every Web site.
Every Mordred theme and modern template in modern CMF will have this option canonical this take for
every new page created on that Web site.
Like if you create a new post on WordPress, this tag will be added automatically to that post.
Like, for example, if we have this page, this one leg and we go to, you know.
Right.
Click and view the page source, we should find this.
You are alloca.
Let me just search for that.
Karen, Nicole, you are.
You can see here.
I will just show you.
You can see this is the link.
You are lucky in the link are in relation means canonical and this page has been specified that this
is the canonical Ural.
That means we are letting Google know that this is the you are l you should be indexing and you should
be showing in the search results.
If you find this page anywhere on the Web site, like in any category or in any other place, like with
Take, then you don't consider that one, you just consider this one with this canonical you are.
And once again, I'm saying, guys, you shouldn't be worried because this is by default included in
most of the themes, almost all themes, and also in other s.m essays.
But if you have any problem with that, then you should add you should ask your developer.
