Moz Report-Canonical

[Rebeca1]

Moz crawl reported in issues:

Rel Canonical:

using rel=canonical suggests to search engines which url should be seen as canonical.

But we have sorted out this a long time ago. Is there a way where can I verify if the moz crawl is wrong or if we really do not specify the canonical?

If you want to post your site or email it to me at lesley@dh42.com I can tell you if you have a canonical tag on your site. You can also view source and search for it as well.

Hi Iris,

The 'issue' for REL canonicals is only just a warning that Moz found the rel canonical on your site. So it's not saying it's an issue of some sorts. But if you want to be sure post the URL and we'll take a look.

Hi Iris, as Martijn Scheybeler says, moz could be reporting  a NOTICE finding those canonicals.

You should see something as: "Here are some other things we found in our last crawl about this page. These notices might not be affecting your site negatively, but might be interesting for you to know."

It´s a notice not an issue to be solved.

Hope it´s useful and you can continue scaling about using moz which is a terrific tool to optimize, just need to get used to it!

Cheers

Thank you very much for all the help.

In report it is clearly stated as one of the 8 issues and in suggestion it says about rel-canonical, so if we have it sorted out I really do not understand why the tool would be pointing out to it.

If it is really like Claudio and Martjin said that it is a NOTICE then it is realy confusing because it did not NOTICE a image there also or widget nd etc...It could have notice another thousands of things...

Thank you very much for looking into this, being beginner I am full of stupid questions:-(

Iris if you do not want your web be found, delete it from your previous post!

As we told you, after examining home of your web we can observe that it has used canonicals adequately.

I wouldn´t get annoyed about misunderstandings and would keep up research about this powerful tool, read, learn, ask questions as you did, you will be definitely rewarded.

Cheers

Thank you very much to all! So I guess the canonical is sorted out. I have also deleted the site from above as I really do not want it in the search, might be the only thing unfortunately.

Thank you very much,

All the best
