        Your site has canonical links setup and it looks fine to me on first look.  I don't think it's a problem - you want this. 🙂

        Yoast Wordpress SEO is a great plugin - it should be setup right.  I have setup instructions on my blog if you need.

          The rel=canonical tag is there to stop possible duplicate content issues.

          I ran a quick report on your site and it has been implemented correctly, so you have absolutely nothing to worry about.

          P.S. Some of your pages are missing META descriptions

              Thanks Carlos. Good to know that is implemented correctly. So It means I can ignore the notices by SeoMoz ?

              And yes I am in process of completing the website. It is a new one. Would be adding the meta desc. soon to the pages left. Thanks for the info.

                I just ran an SEOmoz analysis on your site and it says that there are no issues with the rel=canonical tag implementation.

                If you have the green "tick" next to it, it means that you got that right.

                    everything looks perfect.

                    The only time you need to be worried is when the URL is different to the Tag value IF you didn't intend for them to be different.

                    You have nothing to worry about.

                      It's a notice, not a warning. It's our way of saying "hey, take a look and make sure this is OK, it isn't always done properly".
