Why Canonical error?

[spkcp111]

I just got my SEOMOZ run and it says I have a CANONICAL ERROR:

Scorpio Earrings - 7mm Stud - Sterling Silver

http://www.astrojewelry.com/jewelry/scorpio-the-scorpion-earrings-30502.htm

I'm not sure why--I only changed the <title>tag--not the URL.</span></p> <p><span class="truncated sub-url" title="http://www.astrojewelry.com/jewelry/scorpio-the-scorpion-earrings-30502.htm">Why would this generate a canonical error?</span></p> <p><span class="truncated sub-url" title="http://www.astrojewelry.com/jewelry/scorpio-the-scorpion-earrings-30502.htm">Kathleen</span></p> <p><span class="truncated sub-url" title="http://www.astrojewelry.com/jewelry/scorpio-the-scorpion-earrings-30502.htm">astrojewelry.com</span></p> <p> </p> <p> </p></title>

I can't access your SEOmoz report. What does the error message say? And are there any other URLs provided in the error message?

It's REL CANONICAL "notice".

I'm getting them on pages I've changed the TITLE on. Why would I get a canonical notice on a page I only changed the meta title tag on?

I don't get it!

The Rel="Canonical" notice has nothing to do with changing your title tags... likely just a coincidence. Its not really an error either. All the SEOMoz crawler is doing is notifying you that the page has a canonical tag on it. Though I don't see a canonical tag on the link you posted above so I don't know why that page would have been listed unless it had one once and has since been removed.
