      I have multiple duplicate content errors in my crawl diagnostics. The problem is though that i already took care of these problems with the canonical tag but MOZ keeps saying there is a problem. For example this page http://www.letspump.dk/produkter/56-aminosyre/ has a canonical tag, but moz still says it has an error. Why is that?

        You need the full url so the tag should look like-

        <link rel="<a class="attribute-value">canonical</a>" href="http://www.letspump.dk/produkter/5-aminosyre/" >

          I´ve just checked this with Google employee, and we are using absolute links which are working just as well, so there should be not any errors.

            Might want to double check  -

            https://support.google.com/webmasters/answer/139066?hl=en#6

            "Avoid errors: use absolute paths rather than relative paths with the rel="canonical" link element.

            Use this structure:  http://www.example.com/dresses/green/greendresss.html
            Not this structure: /dresses/green/greendress.html)."

            Also have you given enough time for Moz to recrawl your site and pick up the changes?

              So now i have changed the way the URL works, and today Moz crawled my site once again, but im still getting errors on pages that have a canonical example: http://www.letspump.dk/produkter/61-aminosyre/ which has a canonical that says: rel="canonical" href="http://www.letspump.dk/produkter/5-aminosyre/" > So why i  am still getting Duplicate Content errors??
