      Hi

      I've installed Yoasts SEO plugin. I've just set it up as a campaign in SEOMOZ pro and i now see 14 notices about rel=canonical.

      I haven't added the rel=canonical myself and is in connection with the Yoast code on the site.

      Why does it do that and should i do something about it?

        Notices is not something bad :), in fact the right usage of rel=canonical will actually prove to be very useful (rather then hurt your site) , if you have the site in question and the page where the rel=canonical points to, perhaps sharing it with us would help us determine if we should do something about it

          Have had this question before. It's not wrong, at all. In fact I'd argue having canonical on every page is a very good thing.
