Duplicate page title on blog
-
Is this something I should b concerned about? I get about 6 posts per page with unique titles - however the title per page is not unique. Is this important?

Thanks guys
I got the rel='next' and rel='prev' added to blog pages. I assume I don't need to worry about these pages showing up with Duplicate Page Titels:

Hi Martin
Adam's pretty much got it - rel next/prev would take care of it (that's what Yoast's SEO plugin for WordPress does).
Only other option might be to noindex page 2, 3, 4 etc with a robots noindex meta tag. This would have only the first page indexed. Its another common solution.
As far as how to do this in Drupal, I'm not experienced with that platform, so not sure - but those are the two best solutions you'd want to use.

Thanks Adam
I'm new to Drupal and I'm not sure how to set up the rel='next' and rel='prev', I'll try to find out to avoid the duplication being returned.
Thanks

As I said below, you do not need unique titles for these pages. When using pagination on a blog i.e. blog?page=4 and blog?page=5 you cannot avoid having the same page titles. Yes you should have unique page titles wherever possible but this is a case where it is not.
Again, you should make sure to use rel="next" and rel="prev" which you can find out more information about in the link I provided.

Hey Ryan
Here's an example:
http://www.martinspencephotography.co.uk/blog?page=4
http://www.martinspencephotography.co.uk/blog?page=5
etc.
Any ideas how to give a unique page title to those pages?
Thanks

This is not a major issue as long as you include the rel="next" and rel="prev" for the paginated content.
You can read more about this at Google here:

Hey Martin,
You want to have a unique page title and description for every page on your site. If you could provide a link to the site, that way we can look at it.

Wordpress Blog Pages, Duplicate Title Tag
Anyone have any experience in fixing the duplicate Title tag on a Wordpress blog multiple pages Basically the title tag remains the same on the pages /Blog/ /Blog/Page/2/ /Blog/Page/3/ My good friend Yoast Plugin doesn't seem to of resolved this (Unless i have missed something?) I don't really see this to be effecting anything and wouldn't of through it would either, but it would be nice to not see the notification within Moz site crawls and campaigns etc, its more of a cosmetic problem Any solutions ? Thanks James

Do I really need a "Blog"?
Hello Moz community, I have a question about creating content on a new website that we just launched. Do we really need an area called a "Blog"? It's a financial website and the network admins have some security concerns about placing a blogging application such as Wordpress on the server because of PCI regulations. Can an area such as one called "Resources" where you list articles or posts be just as effective as a "blog"?

Should a business blog be on a separate site or on the ecommerce site itself?
Hey there. I'm a new Pro member and this will be my first question on the Q&A. Thanks in advance for your responses. I'm the owner of an ecommerce site that sells custom candles. www.prometheancandle.com in case anyone wants to take a peak. I've become somewhat of an expert on all-things-candles over the past 4 years and I am thinking about starting a candle related blog. My question is this. Should I build this blog on the ecommerce site itself, say @ www.prometheancandle.com/blog.php, or should I devote a separate site to answering candle related question, history of candles, etc? At first, I was thinking that the blog should remain on the ecommerce site so readers would have easy access to the shop to be able to purchase products. But then it occurred to me that people who may be interested in reading up on candle history, candle making, meditation & candles, etc., may not want to go to an obviously ecommerce site to do that. I know Google values informational sites more than ecommerce sites (at least I think they do), so that encourages me to lean towards the separate site. Well, I may have just answered this question myself, but I'd definitely be interested to hear feedback and opinions. Thanks so much guys and I look forward to hearing from you.

What is the best way to bring a blog into my SEO strategy
We have a blog set up with Blogger and generate some great content on it. What is the best way to optimise the blog from an SEO standpoint? In particular the domain name, it is currently .blogspot.com address, is there a better way to work with that? Obviously the blog is branded with our company logo and name etc but is about the book industry. I'm basically concerned about linking people to our blog and not the website and so not getting much benefit?
