How to overcome blog page 1, 2, 3, etc having no or duplicate meta info?
-
As the above what is the best way to overcome having the same meta info on your blog pages (not blog posts)
So if you have 25 blog posts per page once you exceed this number you then move onto a second blog page, then when you get to 50 you then move onto a 3rd blog page etc etc So if you have thousands f blog pages what is the best method to deal with this rather than having to write 100s of different meta titkes & descriptions?
Cheers

Thanks Anthony! This is the best way to handle it. If you are using Yoast SEO, go to SEO->Titles & Meta - and check off "noindex subpages of archives".

I would Recommend implementing NoIndex, Follow on your Paginated/Archive pages of your blog.
YourSite.com/blog/page=2 isn't a valuable landing page for Google. You don't need to let them index it.

I would possibly think about taking the first 2-3 titles with a meta description like this:
Blog with postings such as title 1, title 2 and title 3
Same as Martijn says it's unlikely that it would receive much ranking as blogs are generally there for cross/back linking in SEO terms. And providing information to the end user.
Make sure each blog entry can be drilled to it's own page this would help increase ranking, but could potentially be open to duplication of page titles, dependent on how many users blog.
-
Use some sort of automation in this, what you normally do is just repeat the page you're on in the META descriptions. So that it will be a different and unique META description but not one that is really unique if you know what I mean. It's mostly the best way to deal with pagination as in most cases these pages don't rank very well anyway.

Duplication in landing page
This is driving me mad, I have a site that for some reason google and moz pick up the landing page as a duplicate.

This is occurring both on a localhost test bed and live....... anyone got an idea how to correct.

Meta Title in Google does not match the HTML meta title I have coded in a site
I have a client site that is pulling a meta title that is not in his code. I am using Yoast for the titles and descriptions on this site. Not 100% sure why Google is not listing the title we have in place. Could the code be pulling from somewhere else? Is there a fix for this?
