Identifying Duplicate Page Title
-
Moz weekly reports, among other things, the "Duplicate Page Title". How can I identify which two urls/pages have duplicate page titles? Is there any simple way to trace?

Hi Christy, Thanks for the details, its clear, you really did not leave any thing.

Hi there! Yes, you can view any URLs that have duplicate page titles in the "Crawl Diagnostics" section of your campaign in Moz Analytics. In a standard weekly crawl report email, click on the link near the bottom that says, "View your full crawl report here." It will take you straight to Crawl Diagnostics. Alternatively, you can get there by going to your campaign dashboard in Moz Analytics, then clicking on "Search" and "Crawl Diagnostics" in the LH navigation.
Once you are in Crawl Diagnostics, scroll to the bottom of the default tab, "Issues Overview", until you see a summary of issues beneath the graph. Underneath the section labeled "Pages with Medium Priority Issues", click on the link that says "Duplicate Page Titles". Here you will see a list of all URLs that have duplicate page titles, and download a CSV containing detailed information (including actual page titles).
Hope that helps! Let me know if you need clarification.
Christy

Duplicate Content
When I say duplicate content, I don't mean that the content on a clients site is displaying on another site on the web or taken from a site on the web. A client has a few product pages and each product page has content on the bottom of the page (4-5 paragraphs) describing the product. Now, this content is also displaying on other pages, but re-worded so it's not 100% duplicate. Some pages show a duplicate content % ranging from 12% to 35% and maybe 40%. Just curious if I should suggest having each product page less than 10% duplicated. Thanks for your help.

What does Google consider a "Duplicate Title Tag?"
Do the title tags have to be exactly the same, or can they have some of the same keywords but different context? Hypothetical example: Home Page = Raising a Kitten, Tips & Tricks for a Healthy Cat Sub-Page = How to Cat-Proof your Home when Raising a Kitten Since both title tags has "raising a kitten," "cat" and "tips" would this be considered a "Duplicate Title Tag" even though the pages have completely different content in them? Thanks in advance!

Page Title in Local SEO Title Tags?
Hi All, Still working on my title tag usage for local SEO, and I was hoping for some more feedback. My question is this: In Local SEO titles, I'm using location + keyword combinations, unique on each page. However, since each page has a specific title for the client, I figure I should be placing that at the front. My thought here was that this helps with the overall usability to the reader of the website. Ex. Contact Us page for Pizza shop Contact Us | Springfield IN Gourmet Pizza | Moe's Italian Pizza Anyone have thoughts on this one? Thank you!

Blog page outranks static page for KW -- why?
Blog page ranks 10 in Google, while the static page is on page 7. What makes it more interesting is that the blog page scores an "F" with the Term Target tool while the static page scores an "A". Static page has more inbound links and a mR/mT of 3.89/ 4.54 vs. 3.71/ 4.14 for the blog page. Any ideas on how to approach this one?

Page title
So if we have a main category page on our site (mines an ecommerce site), do we go for more than that main keyword phrase for that category of products, or is it better to just keep it by itself, and not utilize the 65-70 characters available?
