I have double-checked the rel canonical is properly employed on our page but the On Page Grader says it's not working
Here is the URL - http://www.solidconcepts.com/industries/aerospace-parts-manufacturing/
What is wrong with how we are doing things?
-
Thank you all - I had attempted to default the canonical reference to http - however, a setting within Yoasts SEO plugin was forcing all canonical references to https and the logic evaded me. I've changed the setting and it reports fine on the On Page Grader now.

Ok, you are kind of misleading Google by this... canonical tag tells Google that where the original content is located. According to your signal it is location on your https version which is redirected back to http so in other words your original content is located to a destination which is relocated to some other URL....
All you have to do is to remove just an s from the canonical version and all will be fine!

You page http://www.solidconcepts.com/industries/aerospace-parts-manufacturing/ says the canonical version is the https version of the page : https://www.solidconcepts.com/industries/aerospace-parts-manufacturing/, but the https version does a 301 to the non https version, so you are sending mixed signals to google.

Could be because the canonical is to the "https://" version of the page instead of the "http://" version. Was this done intentionally to avoid duplicate content issues between the two? Could be the page grader is having trouble distinguishing one from the other. Just a thought.

Canonical URLs all show trailing slash on main site pages - using Yoast SEO for Wordpress - how to correct
We are using Yoast for a number of our sites. We use naked domain as the canonical. I have noticed in the header tags that all our sites show the canonical URLs as having a trailing slash: Example: http;//foxspizzajc.com, when I look at the source code, it shows the canonical as http;//foxspizzajc.com/ Of course, it is much more likely that all sites that link to us will not use the trailing slash - so preferably we do not want that to be the canonical - among other reasons. Does this need to be fixed so the trailing slash is removed? I cannot see how to do this in Yoast SEO or in Permalinks structure for Wordpress. Sorry for my ignorance. Thanks for any help.

Domain and Page authority dropped on home page
My two strongest links did not show up in the latest Open Site Explorer run. Business.com and BOTW.com...Linking domains went from 21 to 15. Domain dropped 3 pts and Page authority dropped 3 pts I believe. Is there a function in SEOmoz.org that lets you track your domain scores over time? Thanks, Boo

On-Page URL
Hopefully I am missing something basic... I can't see how to specifically add and delete On-Page reports. It seems like running a report adds it but how to delete? Also, how does one change the URL for a report? I have re-organized some pages and can't seem the get the on-page report to keep my URL change. Here is what I tried. From the On-Page report card for a keyword I changed the URL and ran the test. Test runs ok but if I navigate back to the summary my old bad URL is still there.

How can the differences between Moz and Majestic's link totals be explained?
Hello, Newbie here so this might be a really daft question.... We've a few accounts and are trialling different software - across a few campaigns, we're seeing big differences in link numbers from different software (namely Moz and Majestic). I'm assuming there is a really good reason for it - just can't find what it is! Thanks in advance!

On Page Optimisation rankings keep yo-yo'ing
Hi All Can you please clarify this for me as its getting a little frustrating. I get the weekly reports from the SEO Pro campaign tool and from one week to the next it keeps changing the ranking. For example cheap a boards For this page I have a on page score of A through the campaign: http://www.cheapsnapframes.co.uk/cheap-a-boards.html Last weeks report showed it was an A and then I get this weeks snapshot after the crawl and its saying its now an F but when I click on the link on the onpage tool it then is showing me an A and then changes the ranking again on the campaign. I am seeing this a lot - why is it happening? thanks Tracy
