Hi Mike,
The rel=canonical information is in the notices section. It's just a notice to say "hey, it's here, check and make sure you have it set up right". I took a look at your account and at first glance it does look OK (you don't have everything set to the home page and you're taking care of sort parameters).
It's not a warning or error, just a notice, and all appears to be OK.

Thank you for your speedy response Keri.
"it shouldn't be in the error section" - what should be there?
Is this a glitch in the reporting tool?
Regards,
Michael Buonomo

This is actually just a notice to let you know there is a rel=canonical tag, it shouldn't be in the error section. Make sure that it all appears OK and you should be fine.

I'm struggling to understand (and fix) why I'm getting a 404 error. The URL includes this "%5Bnull%20id=43484%5D" but I cannot find that anywhere in the referring URL. Does anyone know why please? Thanks
Can you help with how to fix this 404 error please? It appears that I have a redirect from one page to the other, although the referring page URL works, but it appears to be linking to another URL with this code at the end of the the URL - %5Bnull%20id=43484%5D that I'm struggling to find and fix. Thanks

803 errors
I asked the person who manages my server to take a look into my 803 errors. But he does not find anything in the logs. Is there a way to find out what causes these errors. And what is meant with 803 error in Search Engine blocked by robots.txt column?

Has anyone else gotten strange WMT errors recently?
Yesterday, one of my sites got this message from WMT: "Over the last 24 hours, Googlebot encountered 1 errors while attempting to retrieve DNS information for your site. The overall error rate for DNS queries for your site is 100.0%." I did a fetch as Googlebot and everything seems fine. Also, the site is not seeing a decrease in traffic. This morning, a client for which I am doing some unnatural links work emailed me about a site of his that got this message: "Over the last 24 hours, Googlebot encountered 1130 errors while attempting to access your robots.txt. To ensure that we didn't crawl any pages listed in that file, we postponed our crawl. Your site's overall robots.txt error rate is 100.0%." His robots.txt looks fine to me. Is anyone else getting messages like this? Could it be a WMT bug?

404 Error
Hello, Seomoz flagged a url as having a 404 client error. The reason the link doesn't return a proper content page is because the url name was changed. What should we do? Will this error disappear when Google indexes our site again? Or is there some way to manually eliminate it? Thanks!
