Rel="canonical"

[PremioOscar]

Hello guys,

By fixing the duplicate meta description issues of my site I noticed something a bit weird.The pages are product pages and the product on each one of them is the same and the only difference is the length of the product.

On each page there is a canonical tag, and the link within the tag points to the same page.

www.example.com/Product/example/2001

<rel="canonical" href="www.example.com/Product/example/2001"></rel="canonical">

This happens on every other page.

I read twice and I think I will do it again the post on GWT and I think that is wrong as it should point to a different url, which is

www.example.com/ProductGroup/example/

which is the the page where all the product are grouped together.

Cheers

It sounds like the /2001/ portion of the URL to select an option, but the remainder of the page is identical. Is that correct?

In that instance, you're correct that the canonical link should be www.example.com/ProductGroup/example/

How you do that is more of a technical problem, and would depend on the software your site is powered by.
