Yoast canonical SEO question
-
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?
-
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.

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

Canonical tags
Hi there, I have just noticed that SEOmoz picked up some duplicates links that I would like to resolve but not sure how. For example, the "Finding work in the arts" article has two links: http://www.creative-choices.co.uk/develop-your-career/article/finding-work-in-the-arts http://www.creative-choices.co.uk/develop-your-career/article/finding-work-in-the-arts?utm_source=Website&utm_medium=Website&utm_content=Finding+work+in+the+arts&utm_campaign=Footer+Links Both links can be found on this page http://www.creative-choices.co.uk/industry-news-views/article/what-employers-are-looking-for (see attachment). Would automatically generated canonical tags by the CMS solve this issue? rmxiP
