2 Titles
-
The analysis said that I have two titles on our main page. www.msperformanceonline.com the 1st is "Camaro Accessories, Camaro Parts, MS Performance" and the second is ( and""). I have looked and can't find out where it is!?! I been looking for hours through the code. Is there anything else I can use to find it? I Anyone's help will be appreciated.

You know, I'd leave in the msvalidate and remove everything else. Bing is offering a LOT more information in their webmaster tools and this now means that you have some historical information built up in your webmaster tools account (presuming it was installed correctly).

Hail Champions!
I was speculating that the Dual Titles would enhance Googles perception of the page since there are two authoritative statements of what the page is about. From your remarks I am seeing this is not the case. Thank you for your wisdom and insight! Good luck on your quests for Page 1!

If you're not using bing webmaster tools and you didn't add the msvalidate code then I think you can delete all the html that I quoted in my earlier answer.

I suspect having a second blank title tag isn't going to hurt you too badly. The engines are unlikely to decide to use blank content to represent your page in the SERPS.
If you had multiple title tags with different content then there's going to be possible confusion!

Ya know I'm not sure. I don't use bing tools. Just yahoo, google and now seomoz. I might add that seomoz kicks butt and I have only been using it for a day or 2. But anyway I took out the title tags but not the whole code. Hopefully that will work.

2 titles can cause ranking problems. search engines get confused when there are more than 1. Plainly speaking it just isn't good for seo.

Is it the Bing webmaster tools validation code?
-
Hi Keri, thank you for the insight. I will try to figure out what the msvalidate is.
-
Thank you. I don't even know what it is. Have you ever heard of msvalidate.01?

Greetings Champion!
What are the effects of having two titles?

I'm seeing two titles in there. View source on the home page, then do a control-f for find in your browser, and search for the word title. The second one is right below the msvalidate.

Google Website title not showing correctly
Hi Im not sure what triggered this - Page title is showing up as 'Isagenix Australia' while it should be <title>Buy Isagenix with 30 Day money back guarantee & Free Shipping in June</title> Previous title was 'Isagenix Australia - Read Isagenix reviews & buy isagenix products' but now it seems to have a mind of its own. Any suggestions would be helpful

Why do I have 2 different URL's for the same page - is this good practice?
Hi GuysMy father is currently using a programmer to build his new site. Knowing a little about SEO etc, I was a little suspicious of the work carried out. **Anyone with good programming and SEO knowledge, please offer your advice!**This page http://www.thewoodgalleries.co.uk/gallery-range-wood-flooring/ which is soon to be http://www.thewoodgalleries.co.uk/engineered-wood/ you'll see has a number of different products. The products on this particular page have been built into colour categories like thishttp://www.thewoodgalleries.co.uk/engineered-wood/lights-greys http://www.thewoodgalleries.co.uk/engineered-wood/beiges http://www.thewoodgalleries.co.uk/engineered-wood/browns http://www.thewoodgalleries.co.uk/engineered-wood/darks-blacks This is fine. Eventually when we add to our selection of woods, we'll easily segment each product into "colour categories" for users to easily navigate to. My question is - Why do I have 2 different URL's for the same page - is this good practice? Please see below... Visible URL - http://www.thewoodgalleries.co.uk/engineered-wood/browns/cipressa/Below is the permalink seen in Word Press for this page also.Permalink: http://www.thewoodgalleries.co.uk/engineered-wood/browns-engineered-wood/cipressa/and in the Word Press snippet shows the same permalink urlCipressa | Engineered Brown Wood | The Wood Gallerieswww.thewoodgalleries.co.uk/engineered-wood/browns-engineered-wood/cipressa/ Buy Cipressa Engineered Brown Wood, available at The Wood Galleries, London. Provides an Exceptional Foundation for Elegant Décor, Extravagant .. If this is completely ok and has no negative search impact - then I'm happy. If not what should I advise to my programmer to do? Your help would be very much appreciated. Regards Faye

Changing of title page and description
Can I ask how long after changing the Title and Description tags on a website do people have to wait to see these changes reflected in Google? I changed a site of mine a couple of weeks back, pinged the site to google and had well over 5,000 googlebots to the page (not a result of pinging, I get that anyway), yet Google continues to display the old listing. Any secret techniques to speeding this up? Thanks
