Canonical Issue with urls
-
I saw some urls of my site showing duplicate page content, duplicate page title issues on crawl reports.
So I have set canonical url for every urls , that has dupicate content / page title.
But still SeoMoz crawl test is showing issue. I am giving here one url with issue.
The below given urls shown duplicate content and duplicate page title with some other urls all are given below.
Checked URL
http://www.cyrusrugs.com/bridge-traditional-area-rug-item-7635
dup page content
http://www.cyrusrugs.com/bridge-traditional-area-rug-item-7622&category_id=270&colors=Black_Tones&click=colors&ci=1
http://www.cyrusrugs.com/bridge-traditional-area-rug-item-7622dup page Title
http://www.cyrusrugs.com/bridge-traditional-area-rug-item-7636&category_id=270&sizes=12x15,12x18&click=sizes
http://www.cyrusrugs.com/bridge-traditional-area-rug-item-7636
http://www.cyrusrugs.com/bridge-traditional-area-rug-item-7622&category_id=270&colors=Black_Tones&click=colors&ci=1
http://www.cyrusrugs.com/bridge-traditional-area-rug-item-7622But I have set canonical url for all these urls already , that is :-
http://www.cyrusrugs.com/bridge-traditional-area-rug-item-7622
This should actually solve the problem right ? Search engine should identify the canonical url as original url and only should consider that.
Thanks

I think your canonical tag is not formatted correctly. Here is Google's guide.
You have:
Google says:
In theory, I don't see why that would make a difference, but I've always seen the tag elsewhere and use it on my sites as per Google's version. If that doesn't work, then Google's page linked above has alternate ways to define the canonical URL. Good luck!

Although the canonical should solve the issue, try adding a ? after your url and before your variables - that is the default way variables are declared and couple help solve problems.

You should also try Sam's suggestion.. although I too don't think should make a difference.
