Does anybody use the canonical against duplicate content? I have 3 pages with same content different URLs, I point 2 canonical to 1 page so that Google won't punish on my site, but all 3 pages are still not indexed after a month. Can you tell me why?

p.s. my website powered by magento.

Google like unique and quality content. Update your content to get Google Indexation.

I do not mean to create duplicate content, but the shopping software...

e.g.

1. xxx.com/abc
2. xxx.com/x/abc
3. xxx.com/x/y/abc

If I promote on homepage, result=1
If I promote on a category, result=2
If I simply list the product on ending page, result=3

This can't be avoided by the system. I think canonical can help, but it didn't. If I don't use canonical, any other ways to prevent the duplicate content problem?

if your pages aren't being indexed at all, I don't think it's a canonicalisation problem.

You need to let Google know your site is there with some links pointing to it, and then install Google's Webmaster Tools and submit a sitemap.

Hello,

Well can any one define that what is canonicalisation?
