I think either I'm missing something or canonical urls are not working correctly for our site. Here's why...
Paginated Categories, Manufacturers, and By Price pages are all being crawled by Google and appear as separate, unique pages with duplicate title/meta tags.
For example:
Products by Price p 1 url is: /products_byprice_20-1-1.html
inserted in source code is: <link rel="canonical" href="http://www.thewatchprince.com/products_byprice_20-1-1.html" />
Products by Price p 2 url is: /products_byprice_20-1-2.html
inserted in source code is: <link rel="canonical" href="http://www.thewatchprince.com/products_byprice_20-1-2.html" />
Google webmaster tools reports these two pages as having duplicate titles and metatags. Same thing happens with paginated categories and manufacturer product lists.
Isn't that supposed to be fixed with canonical urls turned on? There are several threads discussing this issue, but no real answers. Can anyone explain how I fix this problem? or do I need to contact support?
Thanks, mimi
