      Hi,

      I'm just going through my latest crawl since my new site launch and havce noticed almost all of my websites pages are listed under the notices rel canonical section, Why is this?

      All pages have the unique pages titles followed by the site name in the title, for example:

      Product | Site name

      All pages have unique meta descriptions and content (although we only offer lots of differt varients of the same product).

      Is this something I should be worried about?

        Ah, sorry, that was a stupid question. It's because must of the pages have the rel canonical tag due to wordpress.

        Thanks

            It's not an issue - wordpress adds it into the header of all the pages and posts. As long as you have addressed potential issues with categories (I disallow them in robot.txt). The SEOmoz report is just to advice you which pages have the rel canonical tag and not that its an actual issue as such. Hope that helps
