Duplicate Title/Meta Descriptions
-
Hi
I had some error messages in the webmaster account, stating I had duplicate title/meta descriptions. Ive since fixed it, typically how long does it take for a full crawl if Ive fixed these issues? Webmaster is still showing problems with various Title/Descriptions. Also was wondering if I should block individual pages on a large ecomerce site? EX of a Large site -
http://www.stubhub.com/chicago-bears-tickets/ (Page is structure and optimized)
Then you have all individual games
http://www.stubhub.com/chicago-bears-tickets/bears-vs-lions-soldier-field-4077064/
they have an H1 and a meta description, should the page above be blocked from google and concentrate only on the Pain page?
Thanks!

Robert,
Google webmaster says
Sitemap index Oct 2, 2012 It seems as thought it crawls daily, if so shouldnt those duplicate titile, meta descriptions be resolved after the changes I made to them? Thank You

As to how long does it take for a full crawl, it will depend on how long it was taking before the change. Depending on how many pages you had to fix, there are a couple of avenues you could take: resubmit the sitemap or if less pages, you could fetch as Google for those.
As to the example question, that depends on the site, pages, etc. If the concern is to optimize for only the main ticket page to rank, it is possibly a good idea. The problem will arise as in this example with what if the searcher is searching more specifically? (For a given date - bears tickets 10/15/2012, etc)
Hope this helps

Duplicate Content Issue: Google/Moz Crawler recognize Chinese?
Hi! I am using Wordpress multisite and my Chinese version of the website is in www.mysite.com/cn Problem: I keep getting duplicate content errors within www.mysite.com/cn (NOT between www.mysite.com and www.mysite.com/cn) I have downloaded and checked the SEOmoz report and duplicate_page_content list in CSV file. I have no idea why it says they have the same content., they have nothing in common in content . www.mysite.com is the English version of the website,and the structure is the same for www.mysite.com/cn *I don't have any duplicate content issues within www.mysite.com Question: Does google Crawler properly recognizes chinese content??
