Let’s talk about something that’s been driving me nuts for years: Google’s ongoing struggles with handling canonical URLs and duplicate content. It’s a problem that, despite being fundamental to search engine optimization (SEO), Google still can’t seem to get right. And while Google continues to flounder, guess who’s quietly acing it? Bing. Yes, you read that right – Bing! It’s honestly baffling. Here we are, in 2024, and Google, the self-proclaimed king of search, can’t even get the basics of web indexing straight. Let’s break this down. The Canonical URL Catastrophe A canonical URL is meant to tell search engines which version of a page is the “official” one when you have multiple URLs with similar or identical content. Seems simple enough, right? You’d think Google, with all its technological might and years of search engine dominance, would have perfected this by now. But nope. Google’s handling of canonical tags is, more often than not, a dumpster fire. Why? Because Google has a tendency to ignore your carefully placed canonical tags, or worse, it just gets them wrong. It might pick the wrong version of your page, or even worse – it might randomly declare some other URL as the canonical without any explanation. This leads to pages getting improperly indexed, with duplicate content spread across multiple URLs and absolutely no way for you to control it. Result? Your rankings plummet, your SEO strategy crumbles, and your site’s traffic tanks – all thanks to Google’s refusal to play by the canonical rulebook. But, oh, here’s where it gets good. Bing? Bing doesn’t have these problems. Bing can crawl your site, see your canonical tag, and follow it like a well-behaved child. It doesn’t second-guess you, doesn’t ignore your instructions, and doesn’t make arbitrary decisions that hurt your visibility. Bing understands that when a site owner points to a canonical URL, that’s what it should respect. It’s as if Bing actually listens to website owners, while Google seems to be playing SEO bingo with your site’s content. Duplicate Content Woes Then there’s duplicate content. Another area where Google’s “genius” just falls flat. We all know duplicate content is a big issue when it comes to SEO. When search engines find multiple copies of the same content, they’re supposed to figure out which one is the most relevant and display it in search results. Seems simple, right? Well, it’s not. Google has been notorious for misidentifying duplicate content, sometimes even penalizing sites with pages that have only slight variations. I’ve seen it happen time and again: you publish a well-researched article, and somehow, Google finds another page on your site and decides they’re too similar, tanking your rankings. Why does this happen? It’s because Google’s algorithm, despite being incredibly complex, still can’t reliably handle duplicate content in certain situations. There are cases where Google just can’t seem to distinguish between genuinely different pages and what’s essentially the same content presented slightly differently – even if those pages are clearly differentiated by their canonical tags or intended purpose. The result? Duplicate content penalties, frustrated webmasters, and a whole lot of wasted time trying to get Google to "understand" your site. Now, Bing? Bing doesn’t overcomplicate things. It doesn’t see minor content variations and freak out like Google does. It doesn’t penalize you for every slight difference between two pages that have the same general topic. Instead, Bing takes a more balanced approach to identifying and handling duplicate content. You won’t find yourself scrambling to fix duplicate content issues that Google invented in the first place. It just works. The Moral of the Story Why is Bing, a search engine that many still dismiss, consistently getting the basics right while Google is out here making life unnecessarily difficult for website owners? The answer is simple: Google is overcomplicating things, and it’s failing to acknowledge the importance of consistency and accuracy in indexing and content management. In contrast, Bing seems to have a more grounded, practical approach. Bing might not dominate the search engine market the way Google does, but at least when it comes to handling canonical URLs and duplicate content, Bing is getting it right. It’s time for Google to stop pretending that its “complex algorithms” are the answer to everything. Sometimes, simplicity works better. Maybe it’s time for Google to take a page out of Bing’s playbook and fix the very issues that have been plaguing SEO professionals for years. Because if Bing can get it right, there’s absolutely no excuse for Google to keep getting it wrong.

What comes to mind when you think of the word “boring”? A few years ago, if you’d asked marketers, they would’ve laughed and said business-to-business marketing. In 2024, things might have changed for better or worse(?). I’ll let you decide. One fine Saturday evening, a marketer on LinkedIn called out HubSpot’s social media profiles as idiotic and stirred quite a frenzy. To some, the post ‘seemed’ like a shade to Gen Z—as seems to be the case among the ‘booming’ generations—so they made sure the poster knew how “out of touch” they were. But as you’ll notice from the engagement numbers and comments, the post had supporters as well. Now, I don’t indulge in slander on social media, but the comments had me hooked for a good 10 minutes. And then fleeing off to to see what all the fuss was about. Hubspot’s page Here’s a little sneak peek for y'all. For a second there, I had to do a double take. Were the posts ? Sure. But this was quite uncharacteristic of the brand I’ve always known HubSpot to be: helpful, friendly, and sympathetic. funny These were straight-up “we’re trying to appeal to Gen Z” posts. But do you blame them? By 2025, nearly will comprise Gen Z. And from the looks of it, the strategy seems to be working spectacularly. 27% of the current workforce HubSpot recently crossed one million followers on LinkedIn, a feat few have managed in the B2B space. Their engagement numbers are also visibly soaring across social media. They’re trying to do what most B2B brands do when they’re called boring — Switch to humor This brilliant gives a snapshot of how Gen Z is stereotypically represented. infographic by McCrindle If you consider the image above, you can easily make the connection between Gen Z preferences and HubSpot’s social feeds. They’re using small cases and slang like the Zoomers Indulge in shitposting to share “relatable” moments for marketers and sales pros More video content Informative and visually appealing carousels Product and partnership updates Bouncing on the latest pop culture moment Then shitposting some more This is what you’d call being “unhinged”—something you’ll notice only B2C brands execute on social media. And that is why the amount of engagement HubSpot has garnered following the switch in strategy is so interesting. Most upcoming B2B brands don’t find creative inspiration from past examples. They find the usual by-the-book, monotonous stuff because no one’s innovating anymore. They’re all following the same playbooks as everyone else. As , a seasoned content marketer, also highlights in his : Jason Patterson LinkedIn article “When people talk about the top B2B brands, they’ll point to IBM, GE, HPE, Cisco, and the like. But those companies are old (or have old origins). Few remember how they were built anymore. And they aren’t so much building their brands at this point as maintaining them, or repositioning them.” Now, I wouldn’t go as far as to call HubSpot’s new social strategy “innovative”— as some supporters have. Tuning into humor is a classic tactic to be less boring. But it’s definitely a glitch-in-the-matrix event coming from a billion-dollar B2B company. So naturally, it’s going to have a ripple effect. Or maybe, it already has. In the End—It’s Your Audience That Knows Best Ever wondered why B2B marketing is so dry? I feel the opinion is mostly held in contrast to the emotionally charged marketing common in B2C. But another, more reasonable argument is that B2B audiences generally have a disinterest (even scorn) for any “fluff” marketing. They want the information in a direct, concise manner, without the bells and whistles. Unfortunately for marketers, that often spells boring, corporate-speak. Or so they think. Coming back to HubSpot’s example—amid the naysayers and the supporters, one commenter rightly pointed out the best way to approach the criticism: In the end, business-to-business is also people-to-people marketing. And while some may appreciate (even love) a humorous, witty approach to marketing—some might not. It’s for you to find out what works and resonates with audience. your HubSpot sells a collection of horizontal products to a wide range of industries. So they can market to everyone, anyone. That’s the reason their current social media strategy seems like it’s working. If a company selling niche software were to copy the same formula, it would probably look tone-deaf and waste marketing dollars. So if I were to leave you with any piece of advice, it’s this: Listen to your audience. Talk to them, because they know best. P.S. In case you’re wondering—a “canon event” according to the comes “from the movie (Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse) it is an inevitable event or action good or bad that is supposed to happen that results your future self.” Urban Dictionary Please ask a Gen Z for further details!

Hey Hackers! On April 13th, Canon, the camera and photography giant, announced that they will be launching an NFT Marketplace, called , offering tokenized photographs. Cadabra Cadabra is described as a curated photography marketplace that offers NFTs from a variety of innovative creators. Canon states that the goal of the Cadabra marketplace is “to empower creators by connecting them to enthusiastic collectors who celebrate the art of photography through a shared appreciation for these digital artworks”. Decrypt has that the NFT marketplace will be launched on the Ethereum network. reported “The digital art will range from landscape, wildlife, lifestyle, sports, abstract, and other categories to spotlight the stunning work of the invited creators.” - Canon USA Canon also took to to announce the exciting news to it’s customers and followers. Twitter On Cadabra, the NFT photos will be minted by Creator drops, and there will reportedly be a secondary marketplace for NFT collectors to trade their minted NFTs. Canon has stated that Cadabra creators will have the choice of offering “purchasers prints” with their initial drops, which entitles NFT purchasers to also receive a physical print of the NFT image. Based off the small amount of information we have about Cadabra, it does sound like there will be intuitive options for creators to present their work and possibly even earn a good amount. There is no official word on when Cadbara will be launched, but Canon did allude that it will be later this year. Canon has also stated that the Cadbara marketplace will only be available in the United States at launch, but they will be expanding the project internationally in the future. Last but not least, Canon has confirmed that both cryptocurrency, as well as debit and credit cards, will be accepted as payment options on Cadabra.

The subject of canonical reference has been touched thousand times. But since some content writers are still making the same mistake over and over, I think it's beneficial to add one more. I hope to reach some who aren't aware of it. Content writing is not enough Writing content is not enough: you can have written the best blog post of the century; it's no good if nobody sees it. One has two ways to spread the word: Link to the post on social media Copy the post to another site The problem happens when copying the content. The problem of content duplication Search engines want to provide users with the most relevant content for their search. They need to order search results to provide more relevant results first. Duplicate content poses the problem of which content to display first. It's a minor issue when it's on the same domain: the search engine will decide, and that's all. The same happens across domains, but the consequences are worse. If another site decides to copy your content, how will the search engine decide which one to list first? My experience has shown me that the most domain wins. Importance depends on the exact search engine, but generally, sites with more audience are considered more important. important My previous bad crossposting experience I started my blog in April 2018. As with every young blood out there, the beginning was very tedious: I was overjoyed the first time I had 100 visits in a single day! Then, in June 2019, I was approached by DZone to become a "Most Valuable Blogger": DZone would publish all my posts. For me, it meant the world. People recognized the content I wrote as being "worthy" enough. Since there would be a link to the original article, I was also counting on getting a slight boost in audience. At that time, I was hosting my blog on WordPress and trying to balance the costs with AdSense ads: the more audience, the better the balance. For the record, I stopped advertisements as soon as I migrated to Jekyll and GitLab pages. Then, some years ago, a friend did a Google search and stumbled upon one of my posts on DZone. Interestingly, the DZone copy was the first one found, while the original one was at the top of the second page. I stopped my cooperation with DZone on the spot. Setting things right There's a single thing to do to set things right. All of a page should set the attribute: copies <link rel="canonical"> A canonical link element is an HTML element that helps webmasters prevent duplicate content issues in search engine optimization by specifying the "canonical" or "preferred" version of a web page. It is described in RFC 6596, which went live in April 2012. Search engines try to utilize canonical link definitions as an output filter for their search results. If multiple URLs contain the same content in the result set, the canonical link URL definitions will likely be incorporated to determine the original source of the content. "For example, when Google finds identical content instances, it decides to show one of them. Its choice of the resource to display in the search results will depend upon the search query." According to Google, the link element is not considered to be a directive, but rather a hint that the ranking algorithm will "honor strongly." canonical -- Canonical link element At the time, I looked at my posts on DZone, and their canonical links pointed to DZone. Conclusion To keep one's original content at the top of search results, a content writer should only crosspost to sites that allow setting the attribute. I crosspost to a couple of other sites with this feature: , , (it finally added it), , , and . <link rel="canonical"> dev.to Hashnode DZone Medium Foojay HackerNoon If you want to avoid your blog being flagged as duplicate by search engines, you must: avoid content aggregators that don't allow setting the attribute rel=canonical use it!

Much of a task schedule is a matter of prioritisation and triage. What's the most important thing, that needs to be done yesterday? Are the BBC using a trick to generate more organic visitors and if so, should the UK national broadcaster be operating in such a manner? So what are BBC News doing to grab hundreds of thousands of extra visitors per month? Ranking The Same Page Twice For Numerous Terms The BBC's server set up, has all of its category pages duplicated and ranking for multiple terms. https: // www.bbc.com /news/ /world https:/ /www.bbc.com/ news/world https: // www.bbc.com /news/ /england https:/ /www.bbc.com/ news/england https: // www.bbc.com /news/ /uk https:/ /www.bbc.com/ news/uk And as far as I can see, it's been like this for a long time. Judging from the number of , it looks like they have tested changing things at various points. 301s shown in the Wayback Machine The duplicated link is canonicalised to the main URL as shown below but still tagged . index The canonical tag doesn't stop them from ranking for some very large keywords. Below Ahrefs shows that the canonicalised version is sitting at position 6 for the keyword today's news (70,000 monthly) in the UK. The same goes for the larger keyword "world news" (222,000 monthly) in position 6. On closer inspection, the BBC are taking up both position #1 and a lower position 5/6 for using this trick/bug/exploit/mistake. thousands of keywords If I was doing SEO for the BBC, would I want to fix an issue that could be generating an extra 8-12% of traffic from all these searches? Probably not. The canonical is supposed to indicate to the search engines, that one page's content is similar to another's and indicate the primary source to be ranked. Maybe when you reach the levels of trust and authority that the BBC.com has, things work differently. As a public service, should the BBC be limiting the choice of the public by taking up two positions via this hack? And can you do the same for your site? The only way to know for sure, is to test.

How the BBC is Duplicating Category Pages and Using Canonical Links

Canonical redirect may be confusing to the average WordPress user, yet they can have a big influence on search engine optimization. This article’s goal is to provide you with all of the necessary information concerning them. This article's main point might be summarized in one line. The primary purpose of canonical and old slug redirects is to avoid "duplicated content" issue which might hurt your SEO score. I have found this to be the most common mistake my clients make when optimizing their websites for search engines. However, the good news is that it is easily remediable, which is why I wanted to raise awareness about it. Can "duplicated content" harm your SEO? Simply said, if a single page can be reached through many URLs, Google will treat them as duplicates of the same page and will choose only one URL as the canonical one to be indexed. If this occurs on your website, Google will either pick the URL for you or consider both URLs to be equal, which might result in a substantially lower rank in search results. Even worse, the search engine may pick the incorrect page as the original, displaying outdated content. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=8j_hxBw5B4E Duplicate content can be a real nightmare for both visitors and search engines. In essence, canonicalization is all you need to take control and tell search engines which pages you want them to crawl. You may use a meta tag with a canonical URL or a “301 redirect” or a combination of the two. Regardless of how bad it seems, this is a simple problem to solve. Check out on duplicate and canonical URLs for additional details and tips. Google Search Central’s article Despite its flaws, WordPress can handle this issue quite reliably. Now we will look at one of its built-in features that aims to solve the issue of duplicate permalinks. We will not get into the specifics of WordPress use, since you are likely already familiar with them. permalink What exactly is a “canonical redirect”? Simply said, alternative URLs may be accessed because WordPress identifies them dynamically using so-called “rewrite rules” based on regular expressions (REGEX). The term or post will be loaded as long as the URL follows the general URL pattern and the last component (slug) matches an existing content item. So, how does WordPress make advantage of canonical redirects? The best way to ensure that both users and search engines are forwarded to the proper page is via a server-side redirection. In order to do this, WordPress uses the “ ” function, which is intended to prevent duplicate content penalty by redirecting all incoming links to the canonical one. redirect_canonical() If you want to learn more about , check out our website. canonical redirect What is an “old slug redirect”? “ ” works in a similar manner to canonical redirect. Old slug redirect is used to provide a fallback for old slugs. Shortly, every time you change the slug, WordPress will save its previous version as a custom field ( ). Old slug redirect _wp_old_slug If activated, the function will check if the requested slug is linked to any post. If it is, WordPress will trigger redirect to the correct permalink. This particular functionality is rarely used. As mentioned above WordPress saves the old slugs in table using ‘_wp_old_slug’ meta key. The other problem here is that there is no easy way to list all the saved slugs that will trigger the redirect. wp_postmeta As if that were not bad enough, this functionality . is not even described in full in the official WordPress documentation WordPress redirects are not always reliable The canonical redirect functionality contains one additional, lesser-known component - the “ ” function. What exactly is the purpose of this feature? When a user enters a URL that does not exist based on the precise WordPress query, it attempts to redirect the user to a similar link. redirect_guess_404_permalink() In other words, it tries to “correct” the requested URL and send a visitor to the actual URL address. Requested (incorrect) URL Canonical (correct) URL https://example.com/incomplete-perm/ ==> https://example.com/incomplete-permalink/ This “guess-redirect” feature is useful for both SEO and UX, but it might cause some strange behavior in certain circumstances. If you have discovered that any of your URLs are redirecting to odd URLs and articles, you should turn it off. To do so, copy the code below and paste it into your child theme's file. functions.php # Disable "guess 404 permalink" redirection
add_filter( 'do_redirect_guess_404_permalink', '__return_false' ); How to deactivate redirect functions? If you utilize a custom redirection solution and do not want WordPress to get in the way, you may fully deactivate the built-in tools. You can deactivate both “ ” and “ ” in Permalink Manager settings. The free version of the plugin ( ) allows for the same functionality. Canonical redirect Old slug redirect Permalink Manager Lite If you only want to disable the canonical redirect, . You may also use a code snippet to deactivate WordPress's built-in redirect functionalities: you might not need to use a separate permalink plugin # Disable canonical redirect completely
