Thanks wwonderfull,

I understand that I would use it for duplicate pages and not for redirects. Would it be better then to just use the same page address for the canonical?
What happens if it is left blank?

Thanks, William

The reason canonical must be specified is so search engines do not see it as duplicate thus them not indexing it at all. That is the reason canonical is defined so your website URL gets canonical tag where all links in one url. redirecting the www version is preferred and keeping the https and non www ...

Hi just a question about canonical urls. If my website only has single versions of the web page and nothing similar do I still need to have a canonical url?
If I need to have a canonical url would I just use the url for that page as the canonical url? i.e https://www.pagename.co.uk and canonical url of ...

wwonderfull

Maybe you have not set pages which are canonical. Make sure all non-canonical pages redirect to one single url.

BaconFries

Have you submitted your site to "Google" along with the other search engines? When submitting you need to include a sitemap?. If you have previously done so then it is a matter of waiting for it to be searched and re-indexed again, this could be a matter of days and in some cases weeks. Note this is ...

Here's what ahref said about my canonical links:

Similar or duplicate pages of a website must specify the canonical URL to instruct search engines to show the most authoritative (canonical) version of the page in search results.

wwonderfull

canonical link would be which you would want Google to index. For example, if you want the www version then http://www.example.com and if without the www then the canonical would be http://example.com and that is the url you have to write on the the settings of wwb. That is all for declaring canonical ...

wwonderfull

every page has to be taken care of separately when declaring the canonical version on page properties => seo => canonical url there it has to be specified. Not just that it even might need .htaccess settings for redirection too.

For writing keywords make sure it is related to your pages title header ...

https://wasowscy.net/ and https://www.wasowscy.net/ resolve to the same URL. That means you have successfully canonicalized your url according to test.

In page properties, on every page the Canonical tab the URL: is empty, should this be? Or not?

WB14 does not have this option so in that case you will have to add it manually.

BaconFries

Not at my PC but I think your issue lies with how you have added canonical to your page(s). From reading you have used the same url on each page. Basically what you are telling the search engine is that this page is the home or index (principle) page when it is not. The use of canonical urls is ...

You can set the Canonical URL in the page properties.

You can enable robots.txt in Tools -> robots.txt

You can add Schema.org Structured Data via the 'Structured Data ' object.
