Canonicalization help

[IceIcebaby]

Hi Moz Community,

If I have two different sub-category pages:

http://www.example.com/rings/anniversary-rings/
http://www.example.com/wedding/anniversary-rings/

And the first one is ranking for all KWs, should I add a rel=canonical to the second URL or leave it since it's slightly different? Or should I try and create different unique content for the second URL?

Everything in terms of content is the same on both these pages except for the URLs, which aren't that different to begin with.

Thanks for your help!

It might also help to know that these are product pages and have pagination included.

Hi,

if the content is the same put a canonical tag on the worse page pointing towards the better page so on the page -  http://www.example.com/wedding/anniversary-rings/

put the following tag pointing to the other page:

 <code>This is great if the content is the same, more info here - [https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/139066?hl=en](https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/139066?hl=en)</code>

Good luck!
