      Hi,

      Seomoz gives me warnings for overly dynamic urls. This is mostly caused by a crumbtrail system. I have a canonical link in the header for all the urls I receive warnings on, should I still worry about this?

      Thanks!

        Hi There,

        Thanks for writing in.

        I took a look at both of your campaigns, and I'm not seeing that either one shows the Overly Dynamic URL error for any of the URLs we are crawling. That said, we do still report the errors for pages with canonical tags, we just also note that those URLs have the canonical tag. We do this to give you a full snapshot of the site.

        If a URL does have a canonical tag, the search engines won't index those pages if the canonical tag so it wouldn't be as much of an issue for the search engines, but we do feel it is important to have a full snapshot of the issues that could affect your SEO.

        I hope this helps. Please let me know if you have any other questions.

        -Chiaryn

          The whole purpose of errors and warnings is to indicate that it is a problem that needs to be fixed. The SEOmoz crawl should be able to realize that there is a canonical tag on the page and not count it as a "warning"
