Is there a way to get SEOMOZ to not throw an error if i'm using the rel=canonical tag?
Hey, I've seen nobody answered your question, so here it comes What you see regarding canonicals are notifications(and not errors). There is not system which could tell if the canonical link is pointing to the right one or not(which url is the one that you chose to target), what it can do is to point it out to you. Then you can export the list of URLs and check if you have applied them good or not. Unfortunately this means a lot of manual work, but it can help a lot. Just think about the fact that you might Point a Canonical link from Page A -> Page A and from Page B-> Page B (because you have a script that will point a canonical to itself). Eventually these two pages are the same, it will be quite confusing to a search engine, right? Or Page A -> Page B, Page B-> Page C and so on... that's also something that you would like to avoid. Another case Page A -> Page B, Page B -> Page A. With exporting the data that SEOmoz gives you and analyzing it in Excel (or a similar program), you will have the chance to avoid these problems. I hope it helped and cleared the picture a little-bit Istvan

Tripping versus Tripping.com in title tags?
If a user types "tripping.com" into google, Google is going to consider it a "URL Search" and almost certainly return your site first. You probably need more SEO help on the "Tripping", so in addition to giving you extra characters, that would tip the scale to not including the .com for SEO considerations. If you are investing in creating "Tripping.com" as your brand, and putting "Tripping" in the title tag without the .com would cause confusion, then I'd opt for the user experience over SEO consideration.
