What is Canonical URL?

Canonical URL's provide imroved indexing pages and page content your website. They rapidly reduced pages with duplicated content but with various URL's. For example it's a pages which are using adding a various parameters into URL address in order to change way displaying their content.

An good example is a category page with sorting options based on availability, product's name, price etc. You can find various shape of URL:

• http://..../en/2-ipod
• http://..../en/2-ipod?orderby=price&orderway=desc
• http://..../en/2-ipod?orderby=price&orderway=asc
• http://..../en/2-ipod?orderby=name&orderway=desc
• http://..../en/2-ipod?orderby=quantity&orderway=desc

The fact is that it is the same category page:

• http://..../en/2-ipod

with various ways to display.

The goal is that searching crawlers indexed category page only one and not all version of the page. Meta-tag with canonical exactly determined which one page version will be indexed and which other will be ignored.
