Duplicate content using rel tag

Avatar

Level 2

Hi everyone,

We have requirement to show the content from another site without duplicate it. The source site which is providing the content is not in AEM.

We have to implement this requirement using rel=canonical tag in AEM to duplicate the content from non AEM site. 

Could you please help us to achieve this requirement.

Please refer : https://moz.com/blog/cross-domain-rel-canonical-seo-value-cross-posted-content

Thanks in advance

Hi Akbar,

I didn't get your question completely. But as I understand; you need to implement canonical tag in AEM sites to point content from non AEM site.

First you need to understand canonical tag

A canonical tag (aka "rel canonical") is a way of telling search engines that a specific URL represents the master copy of a page. Using the canonical tag prevents problems caused by identical or "duplicate" content appearing on multiple URLs.

Canonical Tag is not used to duplicate the content, it is used to tell search engine that same page with different URL is actually same page, it helps search engine to rank and index.

Now, your requirement is to duplicate the content from non AEM site, you can use Ajax to pull content from different sites to AEM Pages  and add canonical tag in AEM page head section or you can use create utility to import content in AEM.

If you can explain little bit more, may be we can help.

Thanks

Arun
