I dont know how to use canonical tags. My website has two urls like <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.example.com">http://www.example.com</a><!-- m --> and <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.example.com/index.php">http://www.example.com/index.php</a><!-- m --> . I prefer to only .com domain, not to index.php. I want to put a question in this case, on which page I have to apply canonical tag? Please answer me very soon.
If you want <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.example.com">http://www.example.com</a><!-- m --> instead of <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.example.com/index.php">http://www.example.com/index.php</a><!-- m --> then you must put the canonical tag in to the <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="http://www.example.com">http://www.example.com</a><!-- m -->

Here is a link about how canonical tags operates : <!-- m --><a class="postlink" href="https://moz.com/blog/canonical-url-tag-the-most-important-advancement-in-seo-practices-since-sitemaps">https://moz.com/blog/canonical-url-tag- ... e-sitemaps</a><!-- m -->
