2 Titles
-
The analysis said that I have two titles on our main page. www.msperformanceonline.com the 1st is "Camaro Accessories, Camaro Parts, MS Performance" and the second is ( and""). I have looked and can't find out where it is!?! I been looking for hours through the code. Is there anything else I can use to find it? I Anyone's help will be appreciated.

You know, I'd leave in the msvalidate and remove everything else. Bing is offering a LOT more information in their webmaster tools and this now means that you have some historical information built up in your webmaster tools account (presuming it was installed correctly).

Hail Champions!
I was speculating that the Dual Titles would enhance Googles perception of the page since there are two authoritative statements of what the page is about. From your remarks I am seeing this is not the case. Thank you for your wisdom and insight! Good luck on your quests for Page 1!

If you're not using bing webmaster tools and you didn't add the msvalidate code then I think you can delete all the html that I quoted in my earlier answer.

I suspect having a second blank title tag isn't going to hurt you too badly. The engines are unlikely to decide to use blank content to represent your page in the SERPS.
If you had multiple title tags with different content then there's going to be possible confusion!

Ya know I'm not sure. I don't use bing tools. Just yahoo, google and now seomoz. I might add that seomoz kicks butt and I have only been using it for a day or 2. But anyway I took out the title tags but not the whole code. Hopefully that will work.

2 titles can cause ranking problems. search engines get confused when there are more than 1. Plainly speaking it just isn't good for seo.

Is it the Bing webmaster tools validation code?
-
Hi Keri, thank you for the insight. I will try to figure out what the msvalidate is.
-
Thank you. I don't even know what it is. Have you ever heard of msvalidate.01?

Greetings Champion!
What are the effects of having two titles?

I'm seeing two titles in there. View source on the home page, then do a control-f for find in your browser, and search for the word title. The second one is right below the msvalidate.

My site on desktop browser: page 2 /mobile browser: page 0
Using my two most pertinent keywords in Chome my site shows up page two. Using the same keywords on my iPhone does not show my site at all (I clicked on to page 15). I have a mobile ranking of 84 on Google PageSpeed Insights. Could be a bit higher but not enough to totally ignore my site. What am I missing?

HVAC & Air Conditioning - 1 page of 2 ?
Hello all! This has been an on going issue for us trying to rank an air conditioning repair company. The 2 strongest keywords for us are both HVAC Repair and Air Conditioning Repair. The main question is.... Should this be 1 landing page or 2? I think google may recognize HVAC and Air Conditioning as the same thing, because for some crazy reason my air conditioning repair page ranks for the keyword HVAC repair. My HVAC repair page is actually nowhere to be found. I am coming across the same issue with other keywords like HVAC service , and Air Conditioning Service. Or HVAC Maintenance and Air Conditioning maintenance. Any help would be greatly appreciated

More long tails for longer title
Hello, Will a longer, two big phrase title gather more long tails overall than a title with one short keyword? Example: Would this: Title: Nike Running Shoes, Adidas Tennis Shoes create more long tails overall than this title: Title: Running Shoes or is more dependent on other things, like content? It seems like you'd be more likely to hit more phrases strongly with a long title. If that's true doesn't it make sense to always use a longer title when possible? Thanks.

Opinions please on Duplicate page titles & too many on-page links warnings.-
Hello folks, I'm a total SEO newbe but totally enjoying
On-Page Optimization | | CSC
using SEOmoz to learn more. We have ecommerce sites and the 1st crawl flags – as appears typical too many on-page links. We display up to 20 products (each with three links!)
and I’m trying to push to have fewer but meeting resistance from colleagues.
We have links duplicated all over the site believing it eases navigation. My question is just how critical is the number of products displayed
and the resulting volume of links to SEO results? Also we currently have collections of products displayed
across several pages which of course have the same page title and this is flagged
as a duplication error. I wonder if product auto-scrolling help as this means only a certain number of products are displayed at one time on one page thus reducing links and the need for duplicate page titles? My superiors are resisting change (perhaps nervous of spoiling
what already works) and I need to know where to direct my persuasive powers! Many thanks in anticipation, Spence0 -
Does my actual blog post title have any effect once I create a title tag for SEO purposes?
A little confused about this. Reason I ask is that using my actual title for my title tag sometimes isn't the best for getting ranked, so the title and title tag are sometimes not the same.
