Duplicate page title
-
I own a store www.mzube.co.uk and the scam always says that I have duplicate page titles or duplicate page. What happens is thn I may have for example www.mzube.co.uk/allproducts/page1. And if I hve 20 pages all what will change from each page is the number at the end and all the rest of the page name will be the same but really the pages are if different products. So the scans think I have 20 pages the same but I havent Is this a concern as I don't think I can avoid this Hope you can answer

Changing it to just the name of your site is fine. Your titles would now appear as:
Boys Toys | mzube
The only challenge is establishing a brand identity as many people will not understand what "mzube" represents.

Thanks very much for your help I will have to speak to shopify about the pages as the program automatically creates the page title so perhaps they can change this. With regards to the mzube cool gifts for cool people that pulls that from the name of my store. I have changed it just to mzube. Do you think that's ok? Or will that still cause an issue? Sorry to be a pain

Hi Mark.
Your duplicate page title warning is an issue which should be addressed. You are correct the site's pagination is the source of the problem.
The page title "Boys Toys | mzube cool gifts for cool people" is offered for both the following URLs:
http://www.mzube.co.uk/collections/boys-toys
http://www.mzube.co.uk/collections/boys-toys?page=2
These are two different web pages with the exact same title which is an issue. One way to resolve the issue is to add "page 2" to your title.
This issue aside, I would recommend removing "mzube cool gifts for cool people" from your page titles. It dilutes your keyword focus and spams the same text on every title which generally is not helpful. In summary your two page titles would be:
Boys Toys
Boys Toys - page2

Keyword Stuffing - MOZ On-Page Grader
We sell a great number of insulation products, many of which are produced by individual manufacturers. On the page identified below the Keyword "Kingspan" is repeated numerous times as these items are included in our online shop. However, the many mentions of Kingspan are recorded in the HTML5 Source Code, rather than an external database. When I used the MOZ On-Page Grader, using the keywords "Kingspan" I was surprised to achieve an "A" Grade! I know I shouldn't be complaining, but I am wondering why the significant repetition of the word "Kingspan" has not negatively impacted my score? http://www.just-insulation.com/001-eshop/buy-kingspan-thermapitch-thermawall-thermafloor-insulation-boards.html

Is the on page optimization tool not working?
i received a grade f for one of my keywords/page. i corrected some of the points but when i tried to submit the form again, it doesn't check off those corrected items. is there something wrong with the tool right now? also, how does the tool work if i'm targeting 2 different keywords for one page? e.g. digital marketing philippines and digital marketing agency philippines I'm pretty sure one of the keywords will have problems with at least 3 critical and high importance on page factors (broad keyword usage in page title, exact keyword usage in page title, etc.) is there an effect if there's a critical factor left unchecked because using both keywords in the title might look redundant?

Duplicate page content due to Sort By dropdown
Hi there, I have over 150 Duplicate Page Title errors showing up in SEOMoz but on closer inspection these are related to the 'Sort By:' functionality on our ecommerce site that allows customers to sort our products by Price, Alphabetically etc. To give an example: http://www.parklanechampagne.co.uk/park-lane-champagne/special-occasions/easter Is showing as being duplicated by this page: http://www.parklanechampagne.co.uk/park-lane-champagne/special-occasions/easter?productlisting_page=1&sortorder=Price Does anyone know how I can resolve this? Any help greatly appreciated. Kind regards, Jon CDFyp.jpg
