Deduplicate Web Content using Canonical Tags
The Web V1 connector retrieves data from a Web site using HTTP and starting from a specified URL.
In content management and online shopping systems, it is common for the same content to be accessed through multiple URLs. Content syndication helps you distribute content to different URLs and domains, consolidate link signals for the duplicate or similar content, and track metrics for a single product or topic. But it creates some challenges when people use search engines to reach your page.
The Fusion Web connector can leverage canonical meta tags in your website’s HTML to deduplicate web pages.
