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.
