      The reason for this mights be obvious to the right observer, but somehow I'm not able to spot the reason why.

      The situation:
      I'm doing an SEO-audit for a client. When I'm checking if the rel=canonical tag is in place correctly, it seems like it: view-source:http://quickplay.no/fotball-mal.html?limit=15) (line nr 15)

      Anyone seing something wrong with this canonical?

      When I perform a site:http://quickplay.no/ search, I find that there's many url's indexed that ought to have been picked up by the canonical-tag: (see picture)

      ..this for example view-source:http://quickplay.no/fotball-mal.html?limit=15

      I really can't see why this page is getting indexed, when the canonical-tag is in place. Anybody who can?

      Sincerely 🙂

        You have 2 canonicals on the page - the first one is correct - the second one (line 131) is

        Check mistake 3 on https://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.nl/2013/04/5-common-mistakes-with-relcanonical.html

        Remove the 2nd one & you should be fine.

          • Pagination and View All Pages Question. We currently don't have a canonical tag pointing to View all as I don't believe it's a good user experience so how best we deal with this.
