        What's strange is when I view the source on that page, I don't see it:

          I see the same as you for that post, but I still see the canoncial on posts like this:

          noahsdad.com/big-tex/

          This is why I'm thinking you might have fixed it, and we're just seeing an old static version of the page. Re-caching the pages and/or updating posts might fix it up.

            @Carson,

            This is so odd. When I look at the page, I see this. Am I seeing something different than what you are seeing?

              We are definitely not seeing the same thing. Are you perchance using a content delivery network? It might just take some time to update if so.

              I suggest we both keep an eye on it and make sure that it's fixed for both of us going forward 🙂

                Nope, no content delivery network. This is crazy.  No idea what's happening.

                    I'm seeing the bad canonical tag gone now. Are you seeing the same thing? Maybe just had a short-term caching issue.

                      Yeah, looks like I was of no use at all 🙂 I'm glad it's working.

                        Peter, I just discovered I have tons of duplicate content & titles. How can I fix them? It is hurting.

                          I'm afraid there's no one, easy answer. I have a comprehensive post about dupe content here:

                            That was great content sir ! i added the comments there - adding the same question here also !

                            This article is very huge and will print it for better understanding !

                            My problem with the blog is the Duplicate content is marked as for Search Terms or Tags ! like i have written 10 post about design art, i added tags as "design art" in the tag form. using WordPress.org self hosted website !
