Understanding the actions needed from a Crawl Report

[apmgsmith]

I've just joined SEOMOZ last week and have not even received my first full-crawl yet, but as you know, I do get the re-crawl report.  It shows I have 50 301's and 20 rel canonical's.  I'm still very confused as to what I'm supposed to fix...And, all the rel canonical's are my sites main pages, so hence I am still equally confused as to what the canonical is doing and how do I properly setup my site.  I'm a technical person and can grasp most things fairly quickly, but on this the light bulb is taking a little while longer to fire-up

If my question wasn't total jibberish and you can help shed some light, I would be forever grateful.

Thank you.

Thanks Woj - it helps..a little :).  SEO is definitely a journey...

On another note, I just read the post on your company website regarding your process of developing the Kwasi robot logo - very interesting read, I enjoyed it.

The 301s are warnings and could be in place for a reason - you can also download a spreadsheet with all the crawl findings.. it's really useful.

Generally, fix all the errors (in red) if any.. fix warnings as required & examine the notices

For example, I have a site that has 100+ canonicals - all fine & a couple of warnings (titles too long but only over by 1 or 2 characters)

Hope that helps a little
