Canonical Related question

[manish_khanna]

I have a site where we have search and result pages, google webmaster tool was giving me duplicate content error for page 1 / 2 / 3 etc etc

so i have added canonical on these pages like http://www.business2sell.com/businesses/california/

Is this is correct way of using canonical ?

Hi Manish - this is exactly how you use the canonical tag.

Your other option would be to use the rel next / prev but canonical works just as well and is what I use unless various "pages" (page 2, 3, 4 etc) are actually also ranking.

Cheers!

I already have prev and next , relation included ..

but then i get so many notices in SEOMOZ, any idea why is that 
I know it may not be very important, I just want to understand WHY ?

Hi Manish,

The notices are just notices to let you know that you have a canonical tag there -- it's not an error, just an alert for you.
