Error on duplicated content, but when checking shouldn't been possible

[Letty]

Dear all,

Every week I look at the different crawl reports for our website, since the start of my SeoMoz membership the Errors for duplicated content and duplicated Title is rising. But if I take out the .csv file and look in more detail, and select a pages which is marked as duplicated content, a canonical is actually existing on this page. So it shouldn't be an warning, I have no idea what the issue could be.

For example pagesare marked as duplicated content,

<colgroup><col width="966"></colgroup>
| http://www.zylom.com/es/descargar-juegos/3-en-raya/?sortby=2 |
| http://www.zylom.com/es/descargar-juegos/3-en-raya/?startnumber=60&sortby=2 |
| http://www.zylom.com/es/descargar-juegos/3-en-raya/?startnumber=80&sortby=2 |

the parameters after '?' (question mark) are necessary for our internal system. To overcome duplicated content we coded that a canonical tag onis placed on every page with parameters and the main page is

http://www.zylom.com/es/descargar-juegos/3-en-raya/

but it doesn't seem to work, because my error warnings are still rising.

Please advice me

Kind regards,

Ms Letty van Eembergen

The SeoMoz crawl doesn't actually take into account your canonical tags at the moment but it is something they are looking into, so I wouldn't worry you are not the first to report this...

Have a look at this for peace of mind
