Joomla ( title page override not working properly ) any techy guys out there
-
Hey Mozzers
I am having some problems with joomla. I have tried many support forums and since everyone is in the same field as me, i thought this would be a great place to ask this question. I am working with joomla 2.5 and After i have turn on my search engine friendly configuration, you can override the ( alias ) of the page by providing page display options for title tag. so i turned on the SEF in global config and turn on the mod-rewrite and made sure my htaccess file was not txt.
But i am having some problems with this.
On some pages the page display option for the _browser page title _works and on some it does. On the pages it doesnt it is pulling the information of the Alias. ( which is common with most site )
Why is it doing thisYou can check out the pages yourself
Here is a page with it not working
http://tungstengem.com/mens-wedding-bandsand here is a page with it working
http://tungstengem.com/mens-wedding-...-bands-for-menAlso for my homepage when i didnt have my Apach rewrite it show the index.php and i was able to ad an alias to it. Now the Alias for the home page is not working

The extra categories, menus, etc do not cause any issues. They make it more difficult to work with the site and find the root issue.
Imagine you set up a stereo that uses 10 wires for power, sound, etc. If you can cleanly view the 10 wires, it is very easy to diagnose any issues that may arise. Now imagine the same scenario but there were 50 wires, 40 of them which don't actually do anything but are there nevertheless. You wind up wasting time checking each of those wires to eliminate the possibility they are causing problems.
With the above stated, your question boils down to you are not able to properly set the Title tags on your Joomshopping product pages. You should ask the Joomshopping publisher for assistance.

Hey Ryan , thanks for your input.
Ya i gave that information based on your stats on Seomoz being an oracle and all. and with all intent, the password is not an issue.
I know its a mess because i am working on it and i am not a professional and i will start deleting the filed i dont need.
But it is the overwhelming content thats causing the issue?
or is it joomshopping?

Your sending me the admin information for your site was unexpected. I went ahead and logged in to examine your setup. It's a mess.
For example, there are dozens of categories from the default Joomla software and other extensions such as Parks, Fruit Shop, etc. All these categories should be deleted or, at the very least, unpublished since they are not in use. You should set up categories for you content.
Your articles are set up in a manner that is not intuitive. For example, you have a Wedding Bands for Men page. I searched for an article called "Wedding Bands" but it does not exist. This led me to your Menus. Once again, there are many menus not in use which makes the site more difficult to administrator.
The Wedding Bands for Men page uses Products, not an article which is part of JoomShopping, a specific extension you chose to install.
To answer your specific question,
**On some pages the page display option for the _browser page title _works and on some it does. On the pages it doesnt it is pulling the information of the Alias. ( which is common with most site ) **
There are different types of content on your site. There are articles and then "products" which are part of JoomShopping. The JoomShopping content does not seem to be displaying in the manner you desire. I have no experience with this particular extension.
As a note, your site is not professionally developed. You will continue to encounter numerous other issues if you do not either invest a large amount of time understanding first Joomla, then each extension involved on your site, or hire a professional.
Please change your password.

Ryan thanks for an awesome advice and helping out here.
I emailed you the images since it was easier hope you dont mind.
Btw they are same type of pages Jmshopping category page . but still the Alias override should still work no?
Anyway I send the images to you . Config option, menu pages. ( which are Rings and Rings/Cobalt rings.
I also included the login info for the admin

Your second example, the Rings page, is part of your navigation. In Joomla you likely have it as a Menu Item and a Category. The first example is likely an Article. These are handled differently. If you can post screenshots of your admin panel settings, we could offer better advise.
Please also share exactly what is the desired outcome.

How is Single Page Application (SPA) bad for SEO
Hi guys. I am quite inspired of SPA technique. It's really amazing when all your interaction with the site is going on the fly and you don't see any page reloads. I've started implementing the site with this instruction and already found nice guys to make the design. The only downside of the using SPA which I can see **is the **SEO part. That's because the URL does not really change and different pages don't have their unique URL addresses.

Actually they have, but it looks like: yoursite.com/#/products yoursite.com/#/prices yoursite.com/#/contact So all of them goes after # and being just anchors. For Google this mean all of these pages is just yoursite.com/ My question is what is really proven method to implement the URL structure in Single Page Application, so all the pages indexed by Google correctly (sorry I don't mention the other search engines because of market share). The other question, of course, is examples. It will be great to see real life site examples, better authority sites, which use SPA technique and well indexed by search engines.1 -
Log-in page ranking but not homepage
Our homepage is outranked by log-in page for "primary keyword" in Google search results; for which actually our homepage was optimised. I have gone through the other answers for the same question here. But I couldn't find them related with our website. We are not over optimised. We have link from top navigation menu of blog to our homepage. Does this causing this?

Fixing my sites problem with duplicate page content
My site has a problem with duplicate page content. SEO MOZ is telling me 725 pages worth. I have looked a lot into the 301 Re direct and the Rel=canonical Tag and I have a few questions: First of all, I'm not sure which on I should use in this case. I have read that the 301 Redirect is the most popular path to take. If I take this path do I need to go in and change the URL of each of these pages or does it automatically change with in the redirect when I plug in the old URL and the new one? Also, do I need to just go to each page that SEO MOZ is telling me is a duplicate and make a redirect of that page? One thing that I am very confused about is the fact that some of these duplicates listed out are actually different pages on my site. So does this just mean the URL's are too similar to each other, and there fore need the redirect to fix them? Then on the other hand I have a log in page that says it has 50 duplicates. Would this be a case in which I would use the Canonical Tag and would put it into each duplicate so that the SE knew to go to the original file? Sorry for all of the questions in this. Thank you for any responses.

Lots of Listing Pages with Thin Content on Real Estate Web Site-Best to Set them to No-Index?
Greetings Moz Community: As a commercial real estate broker in Manhattan I run a web site with over 600 pages. Basically the pages are organized in the following categories: 1. Neighborhoods (Example:http://www.nyc-officespace-leader.com/neighborhoods/midtown-manhattan) 25 PAGES Low bounce rate 2. Types of Space (Example:http://www.nyc-officespace-leader.com/commercial-space/loft-space)
Web Design | | Kingalan1
15 PAGES Low bounce rate. 3. Blog (Example:http://www.nyc-officespace-leader.com/blog/how-long-does-leasing-process-take
30 PAGES Medium/high bounce rate 4. Services (Example:http://www.nyc-officespace-leader.com/brokerage-services/relocate-to-new-office-space) High bounce rate
3 PAGES 5. About Us (Example:http://www.nyc-officespace-leader.com/about-us/what-we-do
4 PAGES High bounce rate 6. Listings (Example:http://www.nyc-officespace-leader.com/listings/305-fifth-avenue-office-suite-1340sf)
300 PAGES High bounce rate (65%), thin content 7. Buildings (Example:http://www.nyc-officespace-leader.com/928-broadway
300 PAGES Very high bounce rate (exceeding 75%) Most of the listing pages do not have more than 100 words. My SEO firm is advising me to set them "No-Index, Follow". They believe the thin content could be hurting me. Is this an acceptable strategy? I am concerned that when Google detects 300 pages set to "No-Follow" they could interpret this as the site seeking to hide something and penalize us. Also, the building pages have a low click thru rate. Would it make sense to set them to "No-Follow" as well? Basically, would it increase authority in Google's eyes if we set pages that have thin content and/or low click thru rates to "No-Follow"? Any harm in doing this for about half the pages on the site? I might add that while I don't suffer from any manual penalty volume has gone down substantially in the last month. We upgraded the site in early June and somehow 175 pages were submitted to Google that should not have been indexed. A removal request has been made for those pages. Prior to that we were hit by Panda in April 2012 with search volume dropping from about 7,000 per month to 3,000 per month. Volume had increased back to 4,500 by April this year only to start tanking again. It was down to 3,600 in June. About 30 toxic links were removed in late April and a disavow file was submitted with Google in late April for removal of links from 80 toxic domains. Thanks in advance for your responses!! Alan0 -
40 percent redundant content on landing pages with 60 percent unique information.
I have searched schema.org for tags to use for our redudant content on 25 unique local landing pages. The redundant content references our services and abilities on each page. Could anyone tell me how to retain this content and direct the search engines to disregard this portion of the landing page. We are a WordPress site -- if there is a plugin - I would love to know which one might work, although I have not been able to find one that will protect us from duplicate content issues. Thank you in advance.

I am looking to build an informational site that consists of a few landing pages. What kind of platform would you recommend?
The site would consist of an initial homepage, about us page, products & services page, sub-category pages that consist of the products and services in greater detail, and a contact us page. What platform would you recommend building this site on? I currently use Miva Merchant for an ecommerce platform, however this new site will not require the customization that Miva provides, and will also not need to have ecommerce capabilities. This will strictly be an informational site for prospective and current clients.

How to determine if my site map needs work?
I recently spoke to a consultant at a search conference who took a look at my site map and mentioned it looked like google would have a hard time crawling the site and indexing new pages and changes. I am managing an ecommerce site with a bunch of products, however, I am not an XML expert by any means so i'd appreciate any advice on what to look for in the site map that would possibly be affecting googles ability to crawl/index.
