Default canonical tags with your blog posts

When different URLs use the same page content, search engines choose one URL and consider it the primary one. This is the only URL that appears in search results. Other URLs are treated as duplicates and receive less attention from search engines. 

For example, you may have a blog post that you publish on Just Jolly and on an external blog site. Search engines will consider one of these pages as the primary one for search results and omit the other one. 

When you publish something or sign up it automatically creates a default canonical URL for all of your blog posts. You can not change the canonical tag for a post. This tells search engines to index only this post and show it in search results for a given keyword or search phrase.
