Duplicate Page Title error for an eCommerce store !!
-
I currently launched my eCommerce startup hosted in Shopify and linked with MOZ. From my first Crawl Report I am getting 580 Duplicate Page Title i.e. all my Collection page have the same title. I have googled and have been checking the MOZ community but cannot find a fix to it. Some of the URL's are -
http://www.onlypetstore.com/collections/all
http://www.onlypetstore.com/collections/all?page=10
http://www.onlypetstore.com/collections/all?page=100
http://www.onlypetstore.com/collections/all?page=101
http://www.onlypetstore.com/collections/all?page=102
http://www.onlypetstore.com/collections/all?page=103
I am new to SEO and any suggestions will be a great help to me.

Actually I would suggest something totally different. What platform are you on?
Send a variable to the title tag that prints out the page number to the title tag. If you are on page 1 have no page number printed out. That will solve the issue. If you happen to be using Prestashop something like this would work perfect for you, http://www.presto-changeo.com/en/prestashop-modules/25-duplicate-url-redirect.html it handles that.

ok, then something else is wrong... i will check that as well but my office hours will end now... will be back tommorrow... hold on

Thank you for your answers.
I am getting 6 Duplicate Page Content and 527 Duplicate Page Title errors. I did do what you told me to rel=canonical for the first page but will check that part again.
-
duplicate content is often closely connected to a duplicate page title - but mainly not with shops
how many duplicate content errors do you have?
You have to imagine, that you always present the same title according to the fact, that you`ve several sites to let your customers scroll through. Tell the Google Bot, which url he should index by using rel=canonical
Together with rel="next" & rel="prev" this should solve the issue
Have you done that?
-
The pagination part has been done like that to facilitate infinite scrolling.
Can you tell me where to start or just a brief on what need to be done rest I will dig it up.
-
you have also a pagination problem... take a closer look at rel="prev" & rel="next" methode
I am sorry but it
s a huge topic... this cant be answered shortly without avoiding mistakes in detailed explanations

How to remove 404 pages wordpress
I used the crawl tool and it return a 404 error for several pages that I no longer have published in Wordpress. They must still be on the server somewhere? Do you know how to remove them? I think they are not a file on the server like an html file since Wordpress uses databases? I figure that getting rid of the 404 errors will improve SEO is this correct? Thanks, David

Dup titles based on capitaization
I am getting a lot of duplicate title errors when the only difference reported in SEOMoz's detail download shows that the capitalization in URL's from 2 referrer's is slightly different. But there's really only one page. See the example list of dups below: Title: <colgroup><col width="511"></colgroup>
Moz Pro | | tdawgtoo
| College Classroom Maps | URL: <colgroup><col width="566"></colgroup>
| http://www.wall-maps.com/Classroom/College-maps.htm | Dup'S URL from another page: <colgroup><col width="566"></colgroup>
| http://www.wall-maps.com/Classroom/College-Maps.htm | So you see the M in maps is capitalized in the A tag on the second referring page. I would be pretty shocked to learn that Google would consider this a duplicate title, but I am always learning new things. I do have canonical set up on my home page because this site can be accessed by www.wall-maps.com and wall-maps.com. So I don't think it's a lack of a canonical. Could this be a bug in SEOMoz's crawler or is it because IIS is not case sensitive and maybe Apache is?? Thanks in advance to whom ever can shed some light on this. Ted0 -
How do you solve this issue? Pages coming up as [No Title] in Open Site Explorer
I see this when researching top pages. I know for a fact that the pages have title tags that appear to be fine on google and our site, so I'm not sure what the [No Titlle] means or why it's appearing in Open Site Explorer. Thanks!

Duplicate content & canonicals
Hi, Working on a website for a company that works in different european countries. The setup is like this: www.website.eu/nl
Moz Pro | | nvs.nim
www.website.eu/be
www.website.eu/fr
... You see that every country has it's own subdir, but NL & BE share the same language, dutch... The copywriter wrote some unique content for NL and for BE, but it isn't possible to write unique for every product detail page because it's pretty technical stuff that goes into those pages. Now we want to add canonical tags to those identical product pages. Do we point the canonical on the /be products to /nl products or visa versa? Other question regarding SEOmoz: If we add canonical tags to x-pages, do they still appear in the Crawl Errors "duplicate page content", or do we have to do our own math and just do "duplicate page content" minus "Rel canonical" ?0 -
One page per campaign?
Not quite sure if I read correctly, but is it correct that one campaign tracks only one page of my site? So if I wanted to track something like a services page, this would require a second campaign?

RSS feed showing up as duplicate content
Hi, I've just run an SEOMOZ Pro scan for the first time and it is picking up duplicate content errors from the RSS feed. For some reason it seems to be picking up two feeds, for example: http://blog.clove.co.uk/2009/05/13/htc-touch-diamond2-review/feed/ http://blog.clove.co.uk/2009/05/19/htc-touch-diamond2-review-2/feed/ Does anyone know why this is happening and how I can resolve this? Thanks

Multiple Page Title Elements?
Greetings, I am baffled by the recommendation I repeatedly receive from seomoz's on-page optimization tool. The web page I am working on only shows one title between <title>and</title> in it's head. However, seomoz is also reading "Pass to multiple" from somewhere. It recommends that I "Avoid Multiple Page Title Elements" and I would like to but cannot find them. Any suggestions? By the way, I inherited this site and am just trying to deconstruct someone else's work. As a novice, I realize there might be some obvious explanation that I am just missing. Thanks!
