Duplicate Title Tags
-
Hi,
Are these 2 title tags different enough? Notice only the 's' on Templates is switched

|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.

Canonical tag refers to itself (???)
Greetings Mozzers. I have seen a couple of pages that use canonical tags in a peculiar way, and I wanted to know if this way of using the tags was correct, harmless or dangerous: What I've seen is that on some pages like: www.example.com/page1 There's a canonical tag in the header that looks like this link href="http://ww.example.com/page1" rel="canonical" It looks as though the tag is "redirecting to itself", this seems useless (at least to me). Is there a case where this is actually a recommended practice? Will using the canonical tag in this way "hurt" the page's ranking potential? Cheers Jorge

Yoast WP SEO Plugin: Duplicate Title / Description For Pagination
Hello, I just have installed on YAOST WP SEO plugin on my blog to optimize and get better results, as I was using All in one seo Plugin before. On Tuesday SEOMOZ crawler has been updated my site report and I found several errors with my site related to duplicate meta title / description. Home Page Pagination, Categories/archive pagination and tags pagination bring the same meta title and description. I tried several methods to get the required result but unfortunately nothing helped. I used %%pagenumber%% and %%page%% etc. Any help will be highly appreciated.

Duplicates on the page
Hello SEOMOZ, I've one big question about one project. We have a page http://eb5info.com/eb5-attorneys and a lot of other similar pages. And we got a big list of errors, warnings saying that we have duplicate pages. But in real not all of them are same, they have small differences. For example - you select "State" in the left sidebar and you see a list on the right. List on the right panel is changing depending on the what you selecting on the left. But on report pages marked as duplicates. Maybe you can give some advices how to improve quality of the pages and make SEO better? Thanks Igor
