    Some CannonicalIssue errors are little confusing...

    I am getting an error:

    The page with URL "http://localhost/xxx/help/source/help/index.html?page=source/members.using_members.import_and_export.html" can also be accessed by using URL "http://localhost/xxx/web/images/tour/calendar/proxy.gif?957277". Search engines identify unique pages by using URLs.  When a single page can be accessed by using any one of multiple URLs, a search engine assumes that there are multiple unique pages. Use a single URL to reference a page to prevent dilution of page relevance. You can prevent dilution by following a standard URL format.

    I am wondering how can a image user access the html url. Am I doing something wrong?

     

    Thanks

    Is the image a link?  Are you using a URL rewriter?

     I have definitely seen errors like this and most of the time it is because those files are missing.  If you look a few posts back I had mentioned that 404 pages are picked up as duplicate content.  I would take the URL it gives you then test it and see if you get a 404.  Cheers.

    Also alternatively you could do what I descibe in this post to filter everything but 200.

    Or just save this XML into notepad and open it using Open Query:

    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8"?>
    <query dataSource="violations">
      <filter>
        <expression field="LinkingIsExternal" operator="Equals" value="False" />
        <expression field="LinkingStatusCode" operator="Equals" value="OK" />
      </filter>
      <group>
        <field name="ViolationTitle" />
        <field name="ViolationLevel" />
        <field name="ViolationCategory" />
      </group>
      <displayFields>
        <field name="ViolationTitle" />
        <field name="ViolationLevel" />
        <field name="ViolationCategory" />
        <field name="(Count)" />
      </displayFields>
      <orderBy>
        <item field="(Count)" order="Descending" />
      </orderBy>
    </query>
