Duplicate content
is one of the most vexing and troublesome problems any website can
face. Over the past few years, search engines have cracked down on pages
with thin or duplicate content by assigning them lower rankings.
Canonicalization happens when two or more duplicate versions of a webpage appear on different URLs. This is very common with modern Content Management Systems. For example, you might offer a regular version of a page and a print-optimized version. Duplicate content can even appear on multiple websites. For search engines, this presents a big problem: which version of this content should they show to searchers? In SEO circles, this issue is often referred to as duplicate content, described in greater detail here.

The engines are picky about duplicate versions of a
single piece of material. To provide the best searcher experience, they
will rarely show multiple, duplicate pieces of content, and instead
choose which version is most likely to be the original. The end result
is all of your duplicate content could rank lower than it should.
