"On Page" report says 2 rel canonical urls-how do I fix that?
-
I am reviewing my On Page scores and I'm not getting a perfect score bk of this notice:
No More Than One Canonical URL Tag
Moderate fix
<dl>
<dt>Number of Canonical tags</dt>
<dd>2</dd>
<dt>Explanation</dt>
<dd>The canonical URL tag is meant to be employed only a single time on an individual URL (much like the title element or meta description). To ensure the search engines properly parse the canonical source, employ only a single version of this tag.</dd>

Thank you both! So wordpress is generating one and platinum seo is too. I'm going to try this entry into the themes' function.php:
# Remove WordPress' canonical links remove_action('wp_head', 'rel_canonical');
Fingers crossed...!

Hi,
Your problem is very easy to solve. When I look in to your source of your page. I can see those 2 canonical urls.
The first one is on line number 13 and the second one is on line number 19 (See attached image)
For you, I think the easiest one to remove is the 1st link, That means find the code to generate the 1st canonical url to generate on line number 13 and simply remove that code or change the code as suitably.
It will solve your issue.
Regards
Prasad

It looks as though Platinum SEO plug in is adding one in (its situated withing the

How to handle "app" pages.
Hey guys, We've got an app - a drag & drop email builder - and we are looking to improve our seo efforts. That being said - we're not sure how to treat pages of the app that wouldn't tell google nothing at all basically (loads of duplicate content, lorem ipsum, etc). They're pages that are used by the clients to build their own templates ex: builder pages they are extremely useful for our clients, but GGL wouldn't prolly make too much sense out of them. That being said - rather randomly, before we nofollow noindexed them, some of them started ranking (probably given to the really great analytics data we have on them. Loads of clients, loads of time spent on page, etc). Can we harness them in a better way, or just nofollownoindex them? I don't really see how they can be "canonicalised" since they don't really provide any quality content for Google. Much like MOZ's keyword explorer tool for ex. Mucho quality for us - but not a google fan favorite content-wise. Thanks for your help 🙂

Page grader says we are keyword stuffing but we arn't. Page source shows different story.
Hi community! We have just run a page grader for the keyword 'LED Bulbs' on whichledlight.com and it comes up that we are keyword stuffing! However, a brief look at the source for the homepage and there's only 6 times that LED Bulbs pops up. We do have the non plural version of the word 'LED Bulb' on the page 27 times.. do we think that would contribute to the keyword stuffing? Thanks!!

Rel canonical tag back to the same page the tag is on?
Very simple, Why would a website (and I have seen tons doing this) link the rel canonical tag back to the same page the tag is on? Example: somepage.htm has a canonical tag linking to somepage.htm I thought the idea of this tag was to tell google if 2 pages are similar, this page is the original, and it's this page which should be indexed and the page with the tag on should pass all PR to the original. Maybe im wrong and someone can help me out to understand this.

Nitrous oxide for your Comfort Would it be better to break these services up into individual pages? I was thinking I would because then I could add more pictures and expand on the topic and try to get an "A" grade on each page. I'm not sure how I could rank a page if I have 35 services listed on the page. That would be an awfully big H1! Suggestions?0
