        Redirects are better for web crawlers because they tell them where to go. Canonical tags are better for people using browsers to navigate the page.

        Canonical tags work by letting the crawlers know which version of the page is preferred. That's how both these tools work and what makes them different from each other.

          @pawannn having reviewed the landing page the canonical & robots directives are set correctly. The page header status is 200 ok and does not have a redirect chain. However, the page is not indexed in Google. I would recommend you to:

          a) Inspect live URL in Google Search Console to debug why the page is not indexed.

          b) Set up a CDN like Cloudflare. This has helped boost the indexation rate for a few of my clients recently who have also been facing a similar problem.

          Please note: I have no personal gain or am not advertising on behalf of Cloudflare. It is merely used as an example. You may choose any alternate CDN provider.

              Maybe you can use Ratio 2:1 to inbound and outbound link, So you can look like this : https://webolize.com/

                Use canonicals when you have two or more pages that have the same content. You should place the canonical of your preferred page version (the page that should rank in a search engine like Google). This helps to avoid a content duplication issue,

                Use 301 redirects for pages that have a contribution in terms of traffic and/or backlinks but are moved to a newer or an alternate page and the old page is no longer required. 301 redirects will pass on the value of the old page to the new page and not negatively impact SEO.

                      Unsolved Moz Crawl seems to be stuck?

                      site crawl site crawl stuck

                      Hi all, It seems like moz has been stuck on crawling our site for a while now - I had a message of 'you will get a notification for when your site crawl is complete' for about 2 weeks now, and it doesn't seem to finish it? Any ideas why this happens and how to fix it? Thank you in advance.

                      What is the relationship between inbound links and linking domains?

                      inbound link linking root domains

                      In doing competitor research, there's a specific competitor that has fewer linking domains, but dramatically more inbound links. How do these two relate to each other? I do have a higher domain authority and more internal followed links with them having more internal nofollow and external (both follow and nofollow) links. I'm trying to understand how they can have 3.7k linking domains and 4.8 million inbound links while I have 4.1k linking domains and only 601k inbound links. What really defines an inbound link and what's there relationship between inbound links and linking domains?

                      Unsolved Anyone else finding that the Link Intersection tool is not accurate?

                      link building link tracking list link intersect tool

                      I ran the Link Intersect tool on my site vs competitor's site. The first 3 domains it tells me the competitor has links from but I do not are: medium.com, behance.net, and moz.com. I thought this was odd because I know for a fact I built profiles with a link on all 3 sites. So, I went to all 3 and found my links on these sites. I also double-checked in the Google search console and they show up there. Am I understanding the tool wrong? Is it really showing me sites we both have vs what I don't have?
