Title tag code
-
Hi,
I have a couple of websites where I can't define the title tag (CMS does not support it) on a few default pages.
On these pages "the system" just uses the primary/main title tag (from the frontpage) and my programming skills (as if I have any...!) have not been able to make a html code or something to override the main title tag on these specific pages.
Does this make sense at all and can anyone give me a hint, a code to try out or something?
Problem is that I now have 3 pages with the same title tag which in terms of SEO isn't too good, so to say...
Thanks in advance.

Well if you think you have the means to undertake such a migration project then why not, would be a fantastic bit of experience and potentially a good earner.. Just be careful because it could be a big risk if you dont have the resource to do it properly.

I guess....no short cuts...some easy title tag html thing?...I am for sure more .com than .net...:)) - no programming skills...stopped learning after programming a calculator in Basic on my C64....that was my masterpiece....(!)
-
Hmmm...you're right - problem is, that I am the client and I'm constantly telling myself to try and find another cms, but with 2 websites with more than 20,000 products etc....its really not just something that can be done easily....
-
There is usually a way to code around it if you know your SQL and php or .Net, Impossible is never usually in a coders vocabulary...
-
I would say this is an instance where you need to go to the client and tell them there CMS is outdated (and sucks) and they need to progress into the current era of web, [UPSELL ALERT]

It is a forum where Dandomain users can post ideas on what they should work on in the future...
Which is quite a lot...

I guess I need to brush up on my Danish
It came up as something completely different in the English translation.

Hi Brent,
Thanks - it actually says that it is not possible to set individual titles for the 3 pages mentioned...hmm...but great job finding that post.
I guess it is not that difficult for an expert to make some code to implement or is it ? It is possible to implement your own code on these pages directly in the CMS, so... any ideas ,)

Try out Brent's solution in your dashboard and let us know how it goes :).

Translation sucks a bit, but I think it's saying it can be set at the page level in the CMS dashboard.

Hi George,
Thanks for your reply.
It is a local (Danish) web shop solution called "Dandomain", so my guess is that you don't know it
About 50.000 online shops in Denmark use this shop, but not many from other countries.
If you have an idea on what to do i would really appreciate it.
Thanks
Jan

What CMS? I might be able to help out once I know that.

Wrong page title in Google
Hi there, A while ago we took over the domain www.hoesjes.nl and forwarded it to our website www.telefoonhoesjesxl.nl. If you perform a search for the keyword 'hoesjes' in Google then we (www.telefoonhoesjesxl.nl) show up on an organic number 1 position. The problem is that the page title isn't correct. Google shows the page title of the website hoesjes.nl we took over and (correctly?) redirected to our domain www.telefoonhoesjesxl.nl. Does anybody have any idea how to get rid of this wrong page title in Google?

Missing Titles?
Hi All, Don't know if anyone can help me but Moz is showing lots of errors for my website for not having title tags for pages when they do? Also when a user refines they search results it is seeing every instance of this as a new page - we have canonical tags across the site to stop this happening yet it is still occurring each time - is there anything else we can do to resolve this problem? It's creating lots of errors for us. Thanks, Laura

• symbol in title tag
We have a few title tags with a circular dot symbol, which is created by the code "•" Humans see a dot, but googlebot sees • Does this negatively impact our SEO, or is googlebot aware that **• == *** to human eyes

Do I need to add canonical link tags to pages that I promote & track w/ UTM tags?
New to SEOmoz, loving it so far. I promote content on my site a lot and am diligent about using UTM tags to track conversions & attribute data properly. I was reading earlier about the use of link rel=canonical in the case of duplicate page content and can't find a conclusive answer whether or not I need to add the canonical tag to these pages. Do I need the canonical tag in this case? If so, can the canonical tag live in the HEAD section of the original / base page itself as well as any other URLs that call that content (that have UTM tags, etc)? Thank you.
