Moz Report-Canonical
-
Moz crawl reported in issues:
Rel Canonical:
using rel=canonical suggests to search engines which url should be seen as canonical.
But we have sorted out this a long time ago. Is there a way where can I verify if the moz crawl is wrong or if we really do not specify the canonical?
-
Thank you very much to all! So I guess the canonical is sorted out. I have also deleted the site from above as I really do not want it in the search, might be the only thing
unfortunately.
Thank you very much,
All the best

Iris if you do not want your web be found, delete it from your previous post!
As we told you, after examining home of your web we can observe that it has used canonicals adequately.
I wouldn´t get annoyed about misunderstandings and would keep up research about this powerful tool, read, learn, ask questions as you did, you will be definitely rewarded.
Cheers

Thank you very much for all the help.
In report it is clearly stated as one of the 8 issues and in suggestion it says about rel-canonical, so if we have it sorted out I really do not understand why the tool would be pointing out to it.
If it is really like Claudio and Martjin said that it is a NOTICE then it is realy confusing because it did not NOTICE a image there also or widget nd etc...It could have notice another thousands of things...
Thank you very much for looking into this, being beginner I am full of stupid questions:-(

Hi Iris, as Martijn Scheybeler says, moz could be reporting a NOTICE finding those canonicals.
You should see something as: "Here are some other things we found in our last crawl about this page. These notices might not be affecting your site negatively, but might be interesting for you to know."
It´s a notice not an issue to be solved.
Hope it´s useful and you can continue scaling about using moz which is a terrific tool to optimize, just need to get used to it!
Cheers

Hi Iris,
The 'issue' for REL canonicals is only just a warning that Moz found the rel canonical on your site. So it's not saying it's an issue of some sorts. But if you want to be sure post the URL and we'll take a look.

If you want to post your site or email it to me at lesley@dh42.com I can tell you if you have a canonical tag on your site. You can also view source and search for it as well.

Moz Crawl only crawling the top level page (1 page)
For the past few mounts my weekly site crawl has been inconsistent. One week works fine, it crawls all of my 500 or so pages. The following week it only crawls 1 page (http://mydomain.com) and nothing else. A few weekly scan go by and the crawl is back up the the 500 or so pages.I went ahead and created several campaigns with duplicate settings and crawled the site. Most times but not all the new campaign's crawl works fine crawling all pages. But within a week or two the weekly crawl will fail again. (crawling 1 page). Currently i have four campaign's all with the same settings running weekly crawls. 2 campaign's crawled the 500 pages and two crawled only the single page. Any help will be greatly appreciated

Moz is reporting weird email address URLs as 'Meta refresh' errors? Anything to worry about?
Under site crawl, Moz is reporting weird email address URLs as 'Meta refresh' errors. The URLs are: http://support@ihasco.co.uk and http://enquiries@ihasco.co.uk Once clicked, they redirect to our homepage. Anyone else ever had this? Is it anything to worry about? I don't think it is, but would be good to get some reassurance.

Error in Duplicate Content Being Reported - Pages Aren't Actually Duplicates
The recent crawl of one of our sites revealed a high number of duplicate content issues. However, when I viewed the report for pages with duplicate content I noticed almost all of them are not duplicates. For example, these two pages are marked as dupes:
Moz Bar | | M_D_Golden_Peak
https://www.writersstore.com/publishers/hollywood-creative-directory
https://www.writersstore.com/authors/g-miki-hayden These are thin as far as content goes but definitely not duplicates. Any recommendations or ways to adjust the settings so that these false positives aren't clogging up our site crawl report?0 -

Suggestion for Improving the Crawl Report on Canonicals
This came up in the answer to a question I gave here http://moz.com/community/q/canonicals-in-crawling-reports#reply_222623 Wanted to post here to put it in as a suggestion on how to improve the Moz Crawl reports Currently, the report shows FALSE if there is no canonical link on a page and TRUE if there is. IF you get a TRUE response, this shows up as a warning in your report. I currently use Canonical to Self on almost all my pages to help with some indexing issues. I currently use the EXACT function in excel to create a formula to see if my canonical link matches the URL of the page (as this is what I want it to do). I can then know that the canonical is implemented properly, or if I need to manually check pages to make sure the canonical that points to another page is correct. I would like to suggest that the Moz crawl tool does this. It can show FALSE is the canonical is missing, TRUE if the canonical is present and SELF if the canonical points to the URL of the page it is on. I think for the most part this would be much more actionable information. I would even suggest that TRUE would need to be more of a high priority alert, and SELF can't do any damage, so I would leave that info in the CSV but not have that as a warning in the web interface. Thanks for listening!

Moz just did my weekly "crawl" and claims my meta titles and descriptions are "missing," but they aren't. What's up with this?
I can check for my titles and descriptions in the source. They are there, always have been. what in the hell?
