Did you make a change? I'm seeing the canonical tag in the header and not in the content/body (as Boomajoom mentioned). In my experiments, Google won't honor a canonical tag in the body.
I do see that the tag is reversed a bit, with the "href" attribute first and "rel" second. Although Google will probably honor this, I think it might be confusing our system, which can be a bit more literal.

This is a Joomla! site so I have one index PHP that is my template . Whatever I put there appears on every page .
I have another page where instead of using the insert image HTML , I created it with a background image using css , this works fine for all three factors . On the page in question I used insert image and a URL . The page with the image insert HTML and alt image attribute is the page I am having a problem with . Trying to use the image alt attribute at least once on the page is what caused the canonical to be funky in the tool . I have a suspicion that Google will see the canonical tag regardless . I'm sure that I can get a module or plug-in to do this for me and put it in the header tag that is necessary . But that requires me to create a module for each page and I would prefer to simply insert a line of code . Thanks so much !

I'm not used to seeing the canonical tag in the main content section? I usually have seen (and placed it) in the header near the scripts.
Am I wrong on this guys? Maybe that's why there's an error on the report card.

www.ourdomain.co.uk/products/category/subcategory/theproduct1 Product 1a
www.ourdomain.co.uk/products/category/subcategory/theproduct1a same content just a different colour would be rel canonical'd to Product 1 as thats the main product, is my understanding correct? Now here is what I have discovered. www.ourdomain.co.uk/products/category/subcategory/theproduct1 has a rel canonical tag that reverts back to www.ourdomain.co.uk/products/ which isn't optimized as such its just a generic catalog page. This is inccorect and google will dismiss the actial product and revert to the generic catalog page? any help would be great.0 -

Do we need to use the canonical tag on non-indexed pages?
Hi there I have been working in / learning SEO for just over a year, coming from a non dev background, so there are still plenty of the finer points on-page points I am working on. Slowly building up confidence and knowledge with the great SEOMoz as a reference! We are working on this site http://www.preciseuk.co.uk (we are still tweaking the tags and content by the way- not finished yet!) Because a lot of the information is within accordians, a page is generated for each tab of the accordian expanded, for example: http://www.preciseuk.co.uk/facilities-management.php is the main page but then you also have: http://www.preciseuk.co.uk/facilities-management.php?tab=0 http://www.preciseuk.co.uk/facilities-management.php?tab=1 http://www.preciseuk.co.uk/facilities-management.php?tab=2 http://www.preciseuk.co.uk/facilities-management.php?tab=3 http://www.preciseuk.co.uk/facilities-management.php?tab=4 http://www.preciseuk.co.uk/facilities-management.php?tab=5 All of which are in the same file. According to the crawl test, these pages are not indexed. Because it is all in one file, should we add the canonical tag to it, so that this is replicated in all the tab pages that are generated? eg. Thanks in advance for your help! Liz OneResult
