Duplicate Page Title

[MartinSpence46]

I'm new to SEO and have just signed up to SEOMOZ to see what I can learn.

I got the report back on my site and it indicates various errors, one of them being Duplicate Page Title -

I have a blog on my site and a lot of pages identified as with duplicates are like this:

http://www.martinspencephotography.co.uk/blog?page=2

Is it important I rectify this? Do I need to rectify it?

Martin,

Anthony is completely right.  I would also suggest improving your image tags.  You do have alt tags but they are repetitive as well.  For example your bride images have the same tag alt="Bride at Cultra Manor".  Those are ten images that you can use a few keywords and be descriptive.

BTW, great pictures!.

Yes. This is very important to fix. Each page on your site should have it's own unique page title that accurately describes the content of the page and contains a keyword.

Right now, every page on your site has the same title. Your title looks alright for your homepage. My one suggestion would be to try putting the company name at the end.

**Northern Ireland Landscape & Documentary Wedding Photographer - Martin Spence Photography**

Individual Pages on your site should have unique titles. Perhaps something closer to this:

• Black & White Landscape Photographer - Northern Ireland - Martin Spence Photography
• Colour Landscape Photographer - Northern Ireland - Martin Spence Photography
• Northern Ireland Documentary Wedding Photographer - Martin Spence Photography
• Buy Black & White Northern Ireland Landscape Prints - Martin Spence Photography
• Northern Ireland Photography Blog - Martin Spence Photography

Not only do these titles more accurately describe each page, but they also cast a much wider net on keywords giving you more visibility in the search engines.

Good luck updating your site. You'll find plenty of articles about 'writing title tags' if you look around.
