Duplicate Title Tags

Hi,
Are these 2 title tags different enough? Notice only the 's' on Templates is switched
<colgroup><col width="559"></colgroup>
|Invoice Templates | Invoice Template | invoicing Software | Invoice Software
Invoice Template | Invoice Templates | invoicing Software | Invoice Software

Thanks

Thanks. So if I don;t need both are Invoice Template and Invoice Templates the same keyword then as far as google is concerned?

Hi,
The obvious thing to reply is 'different enough for what?' but id also ask whats the logic for doing that? Its the same words but in different order. What value does one bring to page a that the other doesnt to page b? Pages should have unique page titles, the fact the first 2 phrases are in a different order doesnt render them unique. Assuming they are for different but similar pages id use different phrases such as invoicing templates.

Yes they are, but that's not a very good title tag. You don't need the plural and sigular versions in the same title tag. You should refrain from repeating the same keyword as well.
How about:
Invoice Template & Invoicing Software For [application here] | [Brand Name here]
Ideally, you should have a page for your invoice template and a different page for your invoicing software.

Meta Title Tags - Quick question!
Hi all, Our category Meta Title Tags are a little woeful and so I'm in the process of rewriting them. Let's say you have a product for sale.... some inkjet cartridges for a Canon BJ10V printer for example. In an effort to keep things concise I was thinking that for this category I should have the meta title set simply as: 'Canon BJ10V Inkjet Cartridges' and perhaps our company name after this text (and a pipe delimiter) This takes us just under 50 characters which is ideal but doesn't include any real keyword variation and will result in the company name being duplicated at the tail of the title tag on 6,000 odd pages. A large number of my competitors have title tags along the lines of: 'Canon BJ10V Cheap Inkjet Cartridges for Canon BJ-10V Ink Printers' I understand the reasoning behind this but does the variation of keywords compensate for the fact that the title looks spammy (to both humans and Search Engines). What would you do? Keep it clean and concise or stuff the title full of keywords. In the event of the former would you include the company name in each title in the knowledge they would be well under 50 characters without? Thanks for your help.

Duplicate Page Titles and %3E, how can I avoid this?
In my crawl report I keep seeing duplicate page title warning with URL's being referenced twice: e.g. /company/ceo-message/ /company/ceo-message/%3E I'm using canonical link tags but after the new crawl report, I'm still seeing this duplicate page title crawl error. How can I avoid this? I've been looking for answers for a few days but don't seem to see this exact problem discussed. Any insight is appreciated!

High number of Duplicate Page titles and Content related to index.php
It appears that every page on our site (www.bridgewinners.com) also creates a version of itself with a suffix. This results in Seomoz indicating that there are thousands of duplicate titles and content. 1. Does this matter? If so, how much? 2. How do I eliminate this (we are using joomla)? Thanks.

Updated title tags not displayed in SERPs?
A couple weeks ago I updated the title tags and URLs of some of my site's top landing pages, but the new versions aren't indexed in Google. Webmaster tools says that my site has been crawled since updated. I'm using a pretty old version of Joomla for a CMS, and had to fight with the plugins a little bit to make it all work (sh404SEF for the URLs and sh404SEF Custom Tag Module for the title tags). For example, www.radiussecurityinc.com's indexed title is still: Radius Security Solutions | Home But should be: CCTV System Design - IP Industrial Surveillance | Radius Security Other pages besides the home page have the old title tags as well as old URLs. Any ideas how I can fix this? Thanks a lot in advance! Jeff
