How do it add a canonical tag in bigcommerce site?
It seems like I've encountered this question in every forum that I visited today
Google added the rel=”canonical” tag to make it a simple task for web masters to let search engines know which is the preferred version of each page on their site. Prior to this it was necessary to redirect every URL to the preferred URL, which could be time consuming.
Using a canonical is especially important for ecommerce shops, where a single product might have a dozen different pages based on how it is accessed by users. Without a canonical page, all of the links going to these pages are split rather than being consolidated, and there is a possibility you could suffer from a duplicate content penalty.
