Canonical URL

[shebinhassan]

In our campaign, I see this notices

Tag value
florahospitality.com/ar/careers.aspx

Description
Using rel=canonical suggests to search engines which URL should be seen as canonical.

What does it mean? Because If I try to view the source code of our site, it clearly gives me the canonical url.

It is just telling you that you have canonical tag. It is good to know as a cononical tag that is wrong can do harm. so just knowing that a page has one, can alert a webmaster.

Assume you see a canonical tag in a page that you dont remeber puting one, you look and it is pointing at a different page, you then relize you had meant to put in in another page but had put it in the wrong page. if you were not alerted it could of stayed for years doing lots of damage.

Image you find that all pages have a cannonical, you find that you had put a canonical tag in the master page and now only one page is in the index, seeing this in the notices can alert you to this early

Thats why it is a notice noty a error or warning.
