From my understanding, you should not have this tag on any page that has unique content (not including this such as different paging of not main content, ie. product listings.

Hi Greg!

This is interesting, indeed.
So, would that mean in my case that I should alter this element link rel="canonical" href="mydomain.com/ into this instead link rel="canonical" href="mydomain.com/pageA.html"/ ?
Would this ensure that this page A will be indexed at some stage?
Or should I just delete the whole canonical element altogether from each of my pages?

Thanks again for your time !

That is most likely the problem. Our SEO team recently had me add the canocial tag to any page on sites that utilizing paging, so that they do not get indexed. As explained to me, this tells the search engines, "Hey this is a duplicate (main content) of another page, go here (the href) and index it instead of this one"

So for our clients that have products listed on a category page, the main content does not need to be re indexed on Page 2 of 10, Page 3 of 10, etc, as it is the same core content, and will be treated as duplicate content.

Hope this helps.
