Duplicate Title Tags On Blogs
-
Hello Mozzers,
I have a client who has a blog and articles section on their website, due to the amount of content they have in these section they have multiples pages so it would be like..
All obvioulsy with seperate content in each blog/article posts but the meta descriptions on title tags for this p1,p2,p3,p4 and so on are all the same, is this a major issue? and if so how do I fix it?
-
Dealing with p1, p2, p3 within a blog.
Would the following deal with the duplication?
name="robots" content="noindex,follow">
Or would using the rel="next" and rel="prev" work better?
-
If your client's blog is a Wordpress installed one (not wordpress.com), then I suggest you to install and use Wordpress SEO by Yoast, which can be configured in order to solve this kind of issues (and also implements the rel prev rel next feature for pagination).

I don't know if this google video might help: Video about pagination with rel=“next” and rel=“prev”
It talks specifically about this kind of article index pagination.

Hi,
Agree with Devin, meta description is very important but not major factor but I've noticed that in question head you asked about TITLE tag.
Title tag is major SEO issue, so if you can employ even automatic meta tag generator.
If not ask programmers to export all meta title and description to excel sort by URL and set unique title and description and next ask your tech staff to import it to the blog. I hope it is not dynamic generated content if yes only first solution is possible.

Hi,
Duplicate meta descriptions are not a MAJOR seo issue, but it's likely to negatively effect your click through rate from the SERPs.
The quickest way, I've found, to fix the problem is to orient your content management system to automatically generate a meta description for each blog post by lifting lines out of the main text of the article.

Page titles in browser not matching WP page title
I have an issue with a few page titles not matching the title I have In WordPress. I have 2 pages, blog & creative gallery, that show the homepage title, which is causing duplicate title errors. This has been going on for 5 weeks, so its not an a crawl issue. Any ideas what could cause this? To clarify, I have the page title set in WP, and I checked "Disable PSP title format on this page/post:"...but this page is still showing the homepage title. Is there an additional title setting for a page in WP?

Duplicate Content
Hi, I'm working on a site and I'm having some issues with its structure causing duplicate content. The first issue is that the search pages will show up as duplicates.

A search for new inventory may be new.aspx
The duplicate may be something like new.aspx=page1, or something like that and so on. The second issue is with inventory. When new inventory gets put into the stock of the store, a new page for that item will be populated with duplicate content. There appears to be no canonical source for that page. How can I fix both of these? Thanks!0 -

Tags causing Duplicate page content?

Duplicate content handling.
Hi all, I have a site that has a great deal of duplicate content because my clients list the same content on a few of my competitors sites. You can see an example of the page here: http://tinyurl.com/62wghs5 As you can see the search results are on the right. A majority of these results will also appear on my competitors sites. My homepage does not seem to want to pass link juice to these pages. Is it because of the high level of Dup Content or is it because of the large amount of links on the page? Would it be better to hide the content from the results in a nofollowed iframe to reduce duplicate contents visibilty while at the same time increasing unique content with articles, guides etc? or can the two exist together on a page and still allow link juice to be passed to the site. My PR is 3 but I can't seem to get any of my internal pages(except a couple of pages that appear in my navigation menu) to budge of the PR0 mark even if they are only one click from the homepage.

Syndicating With Blogs
Hey all, The idea is that whenever i post a new article on my blog on my "money site" would it be OK to syndicate the same article to all of my other blogs like wordpress, tumblr etc? So for example the exact same content that is on my website will be on myblog.wordpress.com and myblog.tumblr.com but with a URL at the bottom pointing to the original source. (the money site article URL) Are there any foreseeable problems with this? The objective being having the content distributed across the web as much as possible I apologise if this has been asked before, i could not find the answer. Regards Greg
