      Hi Guys

      Our seomoz campaign report is returning a lot or Rel Canonical issues similar to this for each page. The non / version redirects to the / version but how do I get the ones with search parameters ie '?datefrom&nights' to redirect.

      http://www.lamangaclubresort.co.uk/accommodations/las-brisas-78/?datefrom=&nights=

      Any help would be welcome, thanks

        Just checked and found we do have the canonical tag on our pages

        Does this mean that I can ignore the reported canonical issue in the Seomoz report?

          I'm not seeing any evidence that Google is indexing multiple versions, and your canonical tags appear to be correct. Practically speaking, I think you're ok here.

          I'd make sure that you're at least linking consistently (internally) to the "/" version and not both the "/" and no-slash version. If you're using both links, it could confuse crawlers (and our tools). Your search parameters should be ok, though. I don't see any evidence that those have been indexed. See this query:
