Duplicate page title on blog
-
Is this something I should b concerned about? I get about 6 posts per page with unique titles - however the title per page is not unique. Is this important?

Thanks guys
I got the rel='next' and rel='prev' added to blog pages. I assume I don't need to worry about these pages showing up with Duplicate Page Titels:

Hi Martin
Adam's pretty much got it - rel next/prev would take care of it (that's what Yoast's SEO plugin for WordPress does).
Only other option might be to noindex page 2, 3, 4 etc with a robots noindex meta tag. This would have only the first page indexed. Its another common solution.
As far as how to do this in Drupal, I'm not experienced with that platform, so not sure - but those are the two best solutions you'd want to use.

Thanks Adam
I'm new to Drupal and I'm not sure how to set up the rel='next' and rel='prev', I'll try to find out to avoid the duplication being returned.
Thanks

As I said below, you do not need unique titles for these pages. When using pagination on a blog i.e. blog?page=4 and blog?page=5 you cannot avoid having the same page titles. Yes you should have unique page titles wherever possible but this is a case where it is not.
Again, you should make sure to use rel="next" and rel="prev" which you can find out more information about in the link I provided.

Hey Ryan
Here's an example:
http://www.martinspencephotography.co.uk/blog?page=4
http://www.martinspencephotography.co.uk/blog?page=5
etc.
Any ideas how to give a unique page title to those pages?
Thanks

This is not a major issue as long as you include the rel="next" and rel="prev" for the paginated content.
You can read more about this at Google here:

Hey Martin,
You want to have a unique page title and description for every page on your site. If you could provide a link to the site, that way we can look at it.

Hi, on SEO article submissions, do I only include the link to the page I am trying to promote or is it best practice to also include a link to home page or parent page?
Good day. I am writing articles for submission, I would just like some help with the page structure. Do I only include the link for the page that I would like to promote or is it advisable to include other page links, such as home page or the parent category too? Any help would be appreciated

Duplicate Content From Huffington Post Blog
A client who writes blog posts for Huffington Post also wants an identical version of the blog posted to his personal site. Do you think there could be a problem of being punished for duplicate content? Would a better SEO practice be to have the client do an on-site blog just linking to the Huffington Post blog and providing information about it?

How to Get Rid of Duplicate Content Captured on Article Lists
We have a ton of articles and blog posts on our site. Currently, we display summary lists of articles that contain the first paragraph of the article in the summary list. However, in my reports, this is coming back as duplicate content with the full article itself. How do I fix this? Ex: article main page- http://www.robots.com/articles/10 First article on that page- http://www.robots.com/articles/viewing/grippers-for-robots (which shows up as duplicate content with the main artilce page). With our blogs, we have the most recent 5 blogs (in the same summary format) listed on our main blog page. We then have categories that people can sort by. But again, this is causing us duplicate content because those pages show the first paragraph of the blogs related to that category. Ex: blog main page- http://www.robots.com/blog. First blog listed on that page- http://www.robots.com/blog/viewing/robots-and-automation-bringing-jobs-back-to-the-united-states (which then shows as duplicate content with the main blog page). And then you can also select categories to see related topics: http://www.robots.com/blog/category/buying-a-robot which is showing as duplicate content also. Help! How can I prevent this? Thanks!

Blog at blogspot
Hi My website provider doesnt yet have the function to integrate blog under my domain name so the blog is at blogspot. Inevitably there will be quite some links going from blog to differnet pages on my site. I havent yet incorporated a clickable link from my homepage to blog. I am not sure wether to do this or not. Will this just reduce the value of the links going from the blog ? Thanks
