I have an video hosting site, there all videos are displaying like word press posts with pagination, and there are some categories called hollywood, bollyood..etc, and there are video Genres also, ultimately all videos are displayed on home page with pagination, In this case where should i & how should i use rel = canonical tag
Url Structure:
example.com
all videos means hollyood , bollywood, love ...all genres ...ect
example.com/hollywood/
only hollywood videos
example.com/hollywood/genres/love
only love songs videos
Thank You !
You don't need canonical URLs for this. This isn't duplicate content. Duplicate content only is an issue when two different URLs pull up the exact same content (sometimes with minor changes like a list being in a different order).
Q : First you have understand "what is it"?
A : A canonical issue arises when 301 redirects are not properly in place. This means that your website can be accessed by search engines from several different URLs. This means that search engines can then potentially index your site under different URLs, meaning that it will look like a site of duplicated content.
Q : Brother you have understand second why we use for ?
A : Simple we just want to show to google that url should crawl on SERP.
Q : How to use it ?
A : Use in header < link rel="canonical" href="http://example.com/" />

I'm setup a TYPO3 v9.5 website with the Indexed_search ext.
When I search a word using the seachbox on the FE it show all results : home page, categories pages, and news pages.
there is a way to index/search only the newsitems detail page ?
There are multiple ways to achieve this.
In my opinion the simplest (without setting up crawler configurations) would be to limit indexing to only this page.
See https://docs.typo3.org/c/typo3/cms-indexed-search/master/en-us/Configuration/General/Index.html
On your root page you would set page.config.index_enable = 0 in TypoScript setup and on your news detail page page.config.index_enable = 1. Then clear and rebuild the index.
Another possibility for smaller sites is to filter the shown results in your Fluid template. I would not really suggest that but it works, too.
Question is the following, we have site with video. Where address is video title, which can changing all the time. For example user upload video and name it "nice video" then he rename it to "nice video in London". So in this case URL also changed from "http://example.com/video123/nice-video" to http://example.com/video123/nice-video-in-london.
From my research I found that dailymotion using canonical pointing to the page without any keywords in the URL (example.com/video123). So question which URL will be in SERP?
Question, how should we care of this? Thank you so much in advance for any suggestions on it.

Answer: You will put in the canonical link the link of the page that you intent to give the credit to. The page that is gonna show on SERP is the one its' link is INSIDE the canonical link tag and not the one that HAS the tag.
Why:
Page0 = http://example.com/video123/nice-video-in-london
Page1= http://example.com/video123/nice-video
The canonical link is used so u can make clear to the crawl bots the page is a "dublicated content" and the original is the "canonical link". So in your example the search engine is looking at the page 0 which is "http://example.com/video123/nice-video-in-london" and find a canonical tag. The search engine understands that this is a dublicated content and looks at the link in the canonical tag (canonical=---->original page1"http://example.com/video123/nice-video"<----) and realises that every traffic u are getting from page 1 should be added to the traffic of page 0. And for that reason the page 1 --->video123/nice-video-in-london.<--- is getting zero traffic while the page 0 --->video123/nice-video<--- is getting traffic accounted for both pages AND this page will show on SERP for obvious i think reasons.
Let me know if u have more questions on that or if you need some more details on how or why it works that way.
We have pages which have been split into multiple pages as they are too in depth. The structure currently...
Page (www.domain.com/page)
We have split this up like so...
Page + Subtitle (www.new-domain.com/page-subtitle-1)
Page + Subtitle (www.new-domain.com/page-subtitle-2)
Page + Subtitle (www.new-domain.com/page-subtitle-3)
I need to know the correct way of adding in multiple canonical tags on the original page. Is it search engine friendly to add say 3/4 canonical tags linking to 3/4 separate pages?
Well, this is what you should do -
Keep the complete page even if you are dividing into component pages.
Use rel="next" and rel="prev" links to indicate the relationship between component URLs. This markup provides a strong hint to Google that you would like it to treat these pages as a logical sequence, thus consolidating their linking properties and usually sending searchers to the first page.
In each of the component pages, add a rel="canonical" link to the original (all content) page. This will tell google about the all content page.
This strategy is recommended by google - read here.
Canonical tags are basically to consolidate link signals for duplicate or similar content. With that said, you are not supposed to have multiple canonical tags in a page. You have two options.
If your old page is going to go away, then you should pick one primary page(in the split pages) and do a 301 redirect, so the SEO value are carried over to that new primary URL.
If its going to stay, you can create internal links to the new pages. But make sure the content is different, so that it does not count as duplicate pages.
Hope this helps.
If I have a site called http://example.com, and under it I have articles, such as:
http://example.com/articles/norwegian-statoil-ceo-resigns
Basically, I don't want the text from the frontpage to show on Google results, so that when you search for "statoil ceo", you ONLY get the article itself, but not the frontpage which contains this text but is not of the article itself.
If you did that, then Google could still display your home page with a note under the link saying they couldnt crawl the page. This is because robots.txt doesnt stop a page being indexed. You could noindex the home page, though personally I wouldnt recommend it.
I use sites that check out my website for SEO And I get the following message:
"his page title is not unique. Assign unique, descriptive TITLE tags and headings to every page."
accessbar.co.il
accessbar.co.il/index.aspx
But it should be the same page.
Your home page can be pulled up using two different URLs:
accessbar.co.il/
accessbar.co.il/index.aspx
They may be the same page to you, but to search engines they are two separate URLs and thus considered two separate pages. You should do one or more of the following:
do a 301 redirect from accessbar.co.il/index.aspx to accessbar.co.il/
put a canonical URL on accessbar.co.il/index.aspx pointing to accessbar.co.il/
