Can you give me any reference article which may help me to understand more about it.

They weant to keep both even though they are duplicates? i would not do that.
but if they have to then i would use a canonical
-
Yeah, I know that: 301 redirect is best solution for me. But, client does not want to remove old website. They want to make it live as current one. Now, we are focusing more on our main domain & want to rank with new one.
-
The best is to 301 redirect, but a canonuical will transfer links to new one. so new page will rank better, old page will rank worse.
Why not 301 redirect.
A canopnical is like a 301 redirect but does not move the user to the new page.

So, It will not work for me. I want to rank for new one. I have done lot of link building on old one for good ranking.
Now, client does not want to promote old one & want to rank with new one. That's why I was thinking for cross domain canonical.
-
The credit given to the old pages will be redirected to the new pages, you will avoid any duplicate content issues, but the old pages will still exist but will low rankings

Thanks Alan,
So, What about ranking of Vista Patio Umbrellas domain. Will Google disappear that result from search result?
I am not sure but, have idea that, Google may replace Vista Patio Umbrellas result with Vista Stores...
Is it right?

Yes as far as google goes you can cross domain canonical, Bing Toolkit picks it up as a violation, but i have heard from somone on this group that they were told by a Bing employee that they have since changed the way the handle them, and now also allow cross domain canonicals
So the answer is yes.

Should I apply Canonical Links from my Landing Pages to Core Website Pages?
I am working on an SEO project for the website: https://wave.com.au/ There are some core website pages, which we want to target for organic traffic, like this one: https://wave.com.au/doctors/medical-specialties/anaesthetist-jobs/ Then we have basically have another version that is set up as a landing page and used for CPC campaigns. https://wave.com.au/anaesthetists/ Essentially, my question is should I apply canonical links from the landing page versions to the core website pages (especially if I know they are only utilising them for CPC campaigns) so as to push link equity/juice across? Here is the GA data from January 1 - April 30, 2019 (Behavior > Site Content > All Pages😞

How to resolve duplicate content issues when using Geo-targeted Subfolders to seperate US and CAN
A client of mine is about to launch into the USA market (currently only operating in Canada) and they are trying to find the best way to geo-target.

ECommerce products duplicate content issues - is rel="canonical" the answer?
Howdy, I work on a fairly large eCommerce site, shop.confetti.co.uk. Our CMS doesn't allow us to have 1 product with multiple colour and size options so we created individual product pages for each product variation. This of course means that we have duplicate content issues. The layout of the shop works like this; there is a product group page (here is our disposable camera group) and individual product pages are below. We also use a Google shopping feed. I'm sure we're being penalised as so many of the products on our site are duplicated so, my question is this - is rel="canonical" the best way to stop being penalised and how can I implement it? If not, are there any better suggestions? Also, we have targeted some long-tail keywords in some of the product descriptions so will using rel-canonical effect this or the Google shopping feed? I'd love to hear experiences from people who have been through similar things and what the outcome was in terms of ranking/ROI. Thanks in advance.
