Duplicated page titles

[Eurasmus.com]

Dear friends,

We have a problem which occurs on our page with duplicated page titles. Landlords are posting rooms on our page and most of them are giving the same name to the rooms and after that, we are getting more and more duplicated page titles. We are applying random whit this title tag:

Accommodation for students in {city.name}: {name}. English title
Certified student rooms in {city.name}: {name} English title
Erasmus room for students in {city.name} | {name} English title
Student room in {city.name}: {name} English title

Also our title tag is sometimes to long but there is no possibility to make them shorter. I think.

If anyone would have some idea be free to comment and help us.

Kind regards

Miško Macolić Tomičić

Without knowing the site structure, or seeing how the duplication occurs, it might be a little awkward, but you could set a canonical tag from 3 of the pages to 1 primary so that Google doesn't get confused about what should be returned for a search result.

You could also stipulate how landlords should title their pages and just monitor as an update happens.
