      Hello,

      I am bit confused about whether to use a Canonical URL on a page or not?

      Actually, the project I am working on is having two pages with most similar content. The only difference between them is that only 1 paragraph of 50-60 words is different. I am not sure, whether to put a canonical URL on the another version of the page.

      [Note: Sorry, can't put the site URL due to some restrictions.]

        I would recommend you to work safe ... just changing one paragraph doesnt help to create you unique content. But this is what you should do... so better safe than sorry, use the canonical url... this is also not the best option but if you dont have another one...

          • Would it be bad to change the canonical URL to the most recent page that has duplicate content, or should we just 301 redirect to the new page?
