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.

Different WP Taxonomies seen as duplicate content
Hey guys, We're seeing Moz report "duplicate" content on pages like: mysite.com/interesting-category/ and mysite.com/interesting-tag. Why exactly is this, and is there something that we should do about this? Obviously some of the same posts will intersect on pages like category, tag, author pages. Thanks

Duplicate content on the same site
We have a client who wants us to use the same piece of copy twice on their website. Once to promote a workshop and once to promote a conference talk. We feel this would be bad practice from a user perspective, but we were wondering how search engines would regard this? Thanks Ian

Multiple listings for the same product - how to avoid duplication?
Hi everyone, We are working on an e-commerce site that has three different physical stores that each hold different products in stock. A listing is created on the website for each product in each location but if the same product is in all three stores the images and description are duplicate content We can't have one product page and tag locations to it as this would then require keeping two different stock systems updated, but is there a way to avoid the three pages being duplicates of each other? Many thanks for the advice!

My Guest Blog: Still A Good Link Building Resource?
In an effort to build some links, we want to really work on improving our blog content and exposure. We want to write two quality posts per week, and submit 1 quality guest post every 1-2 weeks. However, we're not sure how to go about submitting guest posts or who to submit them to? I found an all article from SEOmoz http://moz.com/blog/4-valuable-link-building-services but it's from 2010. Is myguestblog still a good source? Are there better ways of doing it? Also, is ever advisable to pay to submit a post? Some of the legal blogs (we're a law firm) have this option, but that strikes me as spammy or low quality links. Just to reiterate, we are striving to write high-quality useful content audiences will find beneficial, not just junk or salesmanship. If it takes longer than a week to write posts like that, that's fine. We just really need some specific advise on who we should be submitting our guest posts to and who we should avoid. Thank you all so much for any advice or suggestions, Ruben

How much duplicate content counts as duplicate content to Google?
Hi everyone! I've had a look through some duplicate content posts and I can't see the answer to this query, so I thought I'd ask in case someone could help. I've been looking at a website that competes with the site that I work on. They have profile pages containing content that has been copied and pasted straight from the suppliers' websites. Their pages have all their own code framing the content, which is diluting the concentration of duplicate copy. How much duplicate content can a page have before it gets penalised or ignored by Google? Any suggestions very gratefully received 🐵

Duplicate content penalty
Hi there, I'd like to ensure I avoid a duplicate content penalty and could do with some advice. There is a popular blogger in my industry. I have agreed to add his blog to my website. He currently posts his blog on one of the popular free blogger platforms, and will continue to do this. The issue is that I will be posting duplicate content onto my site and I want to ensure that I do not trigger a google penalty. Is there a simple way form me to inform Google of the original source of the content. My intitial thoughts are: 1. Add a noindex to the Robots.txt file 2. Add a link at the beginning of the article pointing to the original source 3. Adding a rel=canonical tag in the header of each blog entry pointing to the original blog post which resides on a completely different domain. Thanks DBC
