Link rel next previous VS duplicate page title
-
Hello, I am running into a little problem that i would like to have a feedback on.
I am running multiple wordpress blogs and Seo Moz pro is telling me that i have duplicate title tags on canadiansavers.ca vs http://www.canadiansavers.ca/page/2
I can dynamically add a page 2 to the title but I am correctly using the link rel: next and rel:previous
Why is it seen as a duplicate title tag and should i add the page 2, page 3... in the meta title
thanks

It's not just about stopping a warning from the SEOmoz system - it is an SEO best practice to ensure every page has a unique page Title, and in a series of pages within a paginated set, assigning the page number to each Title helps inform people who see that page Title in search results or elsewhere, that it is a page within a series, and which page it is.

I agree the Algos are for Google bot and they will react accordingly where as SEOmoz crawler may not act exactly like the Google bot.
The advice is to make titles a little different on page 2
-
First you need to distinguish two things the SEOmoz Crawler and GoogleBot.
and there is algo in Googles algorithm that when ever they see rel prev next they will treat as a series and understands your pagination. SEOmoz Crawler dont do that.
adding page 2, 3 to the title will help you remove that warning in the dashboard.

Duplicate Titles and Sitemap rel=alternate
Hello, Does anyone know why I still have duplicate titles after crawling with moz (also google webmasters shows the same) even after I implemented (since 1 week or 2) a new sitemap with rel=alternate attribute for languges? In fact, the duplicates should be in the titles like http://socialengagement.it/su-di-me and http://socialengagement.it/en/su-di-me. The sitemap is on socialengagement.it/sitemap.xml (please note formatting somehow does not show correctly, you should see the source code to double check if its done properly. Was made by hand by me). Thanks for help! Eugenio

Page for Link Building
Hello Guys, My question is about a link building process. We all know that some directories/sites do require a reciprocal link. Does it make any sense to creat a page in website exclusively to reciprocal links? And what we do with this webpage in terms of indexing, do folow, crawling...etc. Any sugestions are more then welcome 🙂 Tks in advance! PP

Limit number of links in a page, how to build the menu?
Hi, One of the first SEOMoz tool recommand to me, is to avoid multiple links on the same page. This is fully true, i've more than 600 internal links placed in a menu on the header.
Technical SEO | | vdgvince
This means that each page contains these 600 links at least. User-experience wise, i need to keep this multi-level menu accessible. What would you suggest me ? => No-follow on the links would be useful and not penalizing (if i still have other do-follow links to these pages) => Javascript menu, so that i can't be crawled by google => Any other suggestion? Thank you in advance!0 -
No-follow links on advertising pages
Hi I run a job board that enables employers to post job vacancies and information about their organisations. These are 'paid for' pages (advertising) on our site. These link out to their own websites. My question is, would it be better for these links out to their sites to be no-follow? From my site's perspective, I cannot necessarily dictate the quality of their websites (although the majority are leading firms) as I would in article and feature content, where we do happily link out and refer to other quality sites with information that gives readers further information. I know that many large job boards do this where they run listings of feeds from other sites, but should we also do this at the page level where the link out is effectively paid for. What would be the pros and cons if I do or if I don't use no-follow? I hope this makes sense and look forward to some replies. Many thanks
