How does Google algorithms handle a situation where two separate domains have duplicate content but they both have the rel=canonical link element and Where Site A is the original source of the content but has less authority and Site B publishes the same exact content later in time but has more authority?

Hi Matt. Your videos are so incredibly helpful. You have a way of being very clear and concise in your teachings. One of my favorite subscriptions by far. Google everything always!

Thx Matt.. I think I got this confirmation from one of google blogs or something a while ago. Anyway glad to know that people aren't abusing this killer feature that much. That's a relief!
