PAGE TİTLE
-
<title> </span>Home to home moving 4356 <span></title> page A
<title> </span>Home to home moving 3723 <span></title> page B
These two titles are the same?

I have used unique identifiers to create unique page title before but only because it's a huge site that required automation - it's not the most elegant way to add dynamic unique content (but it does insure it which is why it's a good technique for huge sites) and could reduce CTR.
the problem i see here more is that both title tags are competing for the same thing. if users are able to generate similar description resulting in duplicate title tags that is probably very rare and you can probably go in and edit the ones that are duplicates by changing one character.

I think I understand now. You would have the customer generated listings ending up with duplicate titles so you were adding numbers to the end.
Maybe you could automatically add the location or the date of the listing to the title, or some other thing that would be unique to the listing so your titles would look like like "Home To Home Move in Mytown on May 20"
While it may not be important for these pages to show up in search, at least then they would be unique rather than looking like a bunch of duplicates. This could also help you with local searches in the areas where your users have posted a listing.

Well then, if I'm understanding you correctly, you shouldn't need these specific pages indexed anyway. Instead you should be promoting/doing SEO for the pages that lead you to the listing portal. So the duplicate titles or titles shouldn't matter or be a question..

Our site is a home to home moving listing portal. Consumers who wants to move his home fills a form so that moving companies can cote prices. We were generating listing page URL’s by using the title submitted by customer. Unfortunately we have understood by now that many customers have entered exactly same title for their listings which has caused us having hundreds of similar page title

Technically, they are unique to a search engine bot. To a person, they are pretty much the same thing.
And like Jesse said, they are kind of lame - spammy, uninteresting, and the numbers make it look like some kind of indexing mistake.

Yes and pretty terrible, also. Unless your only target keyword for each of those pages is "home to home moving.." but I can't imagine that particular search string receives many queries.
Consider your keywords and fit them into your title in a natural way. If I saw those titles listed in Google SERPs I'd avoid them like the plague.
Not trying to be critical, only trying to help. Hope I did.. Feel free to ask more questions!

Hello, Smart People!
On-Page Optimization | | Viktoriia1805
We need help solving the problem with Google indexing.
All pages of our website are crawled and indexed. All pages, including those mentioned, meet Google requirements and can be indexed. However, only this page is still not indexed.
Robots.txt is not blocking it.
We do not have a tag "nofollow"
We have it in the sitemap file.
We have internal links for this page from indexed pages.
We requested indexing many times, and it is still grey.
The page was established one year ago.
We are open to any suggestions or guidance you may have. What else can we do to expedite the indexing process?1 -

Duplicate pages
Hi I have recently signed up to Moz Pro and the first crawl report on my wordpress site has brought up some duplicate content issues. I don't know what to do with this data! The original page : http://www.dwliverpoolphotography.co.uk/blog/ and the duplicate content page : http://www.dwliverpoolphotography.co.uk/author/david/ If anyone can point me to a resource or explain what I need to do thanks! David.

Product page optimalisation
Throughout the years our website kept on growing this has led to product pages that have so much sub-pages that nobody is able to really get a good idea of the product. We are working on a new website where the visitor is central. Together with a usability partner we have down sized the preferred data to fit on one page with a tabular system with a maximum of 4 taps. My question will this affect our find ability if we go from 10 to 15 sub-pages to one main page

Too many on page links
I'm having trouble interpreting this data. It says several of my blog pages have too many on page links, some as high as 140 and there is no example of a blog post that they are referring to. What am I missing? I never post more than a handful (5-7) in our 600-1000wd blogs. When I drill down, it doesn't give me very much information except "Found over 41 years ago" off to the right. When I click on the "too many on page links" URL, it provides a long list of website pages that are renamed with the blog name. huh? A lot of this stuff isn't very intuitive, SEOMoz.

Optimally, how many times should the key word or phrase you are targeting for a particular page be mentioned or appear on that page?
Our marketing team is debating how many times the key phrase on each of our web store's product pages should include the word/phrase we are trying to be competitive with. Can you advise?

Why some pages are not indexed?
I have a furniture´s ecommerce. When searching for "site: movstore.com.br" returned 1080 results, but if I search for "site: movstore.com.br / Product" returned 1020 results. I mean, that 1080 indexed pages, 1020 are products pages and the other 60 pages are irrelevant. Where are the category pages? "site: movstore.com.br / Categories" - 0 results
