<p><span style="font-weight: 400;">The line refers to important HTML tags used in the context of SEO to manage duplicate content and link structure:</span></p>
<ul>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">rel="canonical": This tag helps search engines understand which version of a page is the preferred one when there are multiple versions with similar content. It prevents issues with duplicate content by indicating the original or authoritative version of a page.</span></li>
<li style="font-weight: 400;" aria-level="1"><span style="font-weight: 400;">Cyclic link tags: While less common, cyclic links can occur when a set of links creates a loop. In SEO, this is typically avoided as it can confuse search engines or create inefficient crawls. The term may refer to the need to check and manage such cycles in a site&rsquo;s internal linking structure.</span></li>
