      Can someone help me on this.

      I am seeing duplicate page titles on the PRO Campaign Crawl tool on an ecommerce site for example MOZ is saying that these two pages have a duplicate page title:

      http://www.cheapsnapframes.co.uk/colour-25mm-snap-frames/25mm-green-snap-frame/a0-traffic-green-snap-frame-25mm/prod_1730.html

      http://www.cheapsnapframes.co.uk/snap-picture-poster-frames/colour-25mm-snap-frames/green-25mm-snap-frame/a0-traffic-green-snap-frame-25mm/prod_1730.html

      They are the the same product in two categories.  When I view the source of both pages the this link is the same in the meta:

      <link rel="<a class="attribute-value">canonical</a>" href="[http://www.cheapsnapframes.co.uk/colour-25mm-snap-frames/25mm-green-snap-frame/a0-traffic-green-snap-frame-25mm/prod_1730.html](view-source:http://www.cheapsnapframes.co.uk/colour-25mm-snap-frames/25mm-green-snap-frame/a0-traffic-green-snap-frame-25mm/prod_1730.html)" />
      
      So is there something else I need to have done to erradicate this or is it not an issue?
      
      Thanks in advance

        If you are using rel canonical, you're doing it right.

        The real question is why that second link exists.  Somewhere on your site you are linking to that snap-picture-poster-frames subdirectory.  I would spend some time figuring out why that is the link and not the direct canonical link.  Then fix it.  It's unnecessarily confusing and points to some poor site architecture.  Removing it will both eliminate the dupe problem and also just leave you with a cleaner link structure.  Being in two categories shouldn't mean you need two different URLs for the same product...
