      Canonical url issue

      My site https://ladydecosmetic.com on seomoz crawl showing duplicate page title, duplicate page content errors. I have downloaded the error reports csv and checked. From the report,

      The below url contains duplicate page content.
      https://www.ladydecosmetic.com/unik-colours-lipstick-caribbean-peach-o-27-item-162&category_id=40&brands=66&click=brnd

      And other duplicate urls as per report are,
      https://www.ladydecosmetic.com/unik-colours-lipstick-plum-red-o-14-item-157&category_id=40&click=colorsu&brands=66

      https://www.ladydecosmetic.com/unik-colours-lipstick-plum-red-o-14-item-157&category_id=40

      https://www.ladydecosmetic.com/unik-colours-lipstick-plum-red-o-14-item-157&category_id=40&brands=66&click=brnd

      But on every these url(all 4) I have set canonical url. That is the original url and an existing one(not 404).

      https://www.ladydecosmetic.com/unik-colours-lipstick-caribbean-peach-o-27-item-162&category_id=0

      Then how this issues are showing like duplicate page content. Please give me an answer ASAP.

        just want to check, does it says that "caribbean-peach" is dupped with "lipstick-plum-red" pages?

        if so that's because they are very similar which can trigger a dup warning. Canonical can not fit that as they are different pages.

        maybe a cropped screen shot would make it clearer

          Got it! That might be the reason. I am doing another test crawl by making changes on first url. Let me see if this fixed.

          Thanks for your reply!
