What is an Alternate Page?
An Alternate Page is a page that is
not the main page of your website. It can be a page about a specific topic, or
a page that is not officially affiliated with your website.
When you create an Alternate Page, you need to use the proper canonical tag
when you publish it. This will help ensure that people know which page to use
when referencing your content on the web.
Please check the Example below:-
https://www.articlehubb.com/ ------------>
this link is the Original Link
https://www.articlehubb.com/?m=1 ------------> this link is an Alternate
with a proper canonical tag.
The alternate page means the Duplicate Page
of the original page. Alternate pages with proper canonical tags are blocked
through the Robot.txt
Now you are thinking about robot.txt
Let me explain to you about robot.txt -----------This
file tells search engines which pages are the official versions of your blog
and which are not. Properly setting up your robots.txt will help Google and
other search engines recognize your blog as an authoritative source on the
topic of your website.
What is a Proper Canonical Tag
A canonical tag is a markup tag used by
search engines to help with linking between different versions of a document on
the web. Alternate pages are pages that are not the main or default page for a
blog, but rather a page that exists as an alternate version of the main page.
After the original Link of your site
or post it will show in this format which means this URL is not the Original URL /?m=1
