Missing Titles?
-
Hi All,
Don't know if anyone can help me but Moz is showing lots of errors for my website for not having title tags for pages when they do?
Also when a user refines they search results it is seeing every instance of this as a new page - we have canonical tags across the site to stop this happening yet it is still occurring each time - is there anything else we can do to resolve this problem?
It's creating lots of errors for us.
Thanks,
Laura

Hi Laura!
I took a look at our crawl data and at the time of the crawl on November 12th our crawler did not find the titles on the page so I looked at a cached version of the page on November 8th which does show the title was missing with
Hope this helps!

I have checked the pages as Jeff did and it looks everything is ok. So may be is an error from moz report because if you do the page analysis with moz bar, shows everything is ok.
Good luck

Thanks Jeff!
Yes, this is what we found.
Do you have any idea why Moz would be saying that these page titles are missing then?
Is it not something to be concerned about then even though Moz is saying they are missing?
Thank you so much for your help.

Okay... I took a look at the original page, as well as the page that has the sorting done to it. In both cases, I was able to see that it had a page title displayed:
<title>Serviced Apartments in Greater London | Central London Apartments</title>
However, I wasn't sure if it was a browser issue, so I ran the URL through the Screaming Frog app, and found that it, too, is seeing valid page titles when items are sorted (please see attached screenshot).
I hope this helps... from my end, it looks like the page titles are showing up properly.
Thanks,

Hi Jeff,
Thanks so much for the quick reply!
The page is:
https://www.central-london-apartments.com/area-greater-london.php
and when a user sorts the results it's showing missing titles for pages like this:
https://www.central-london-apartments.com/area-greater-london.php?sort=recommended&page=3
Thanks,
Laura

If you can share an instance of one of the pages that has a title tag, but doesn't show up in Moz, that might help to troubleshoot?
It could be a redirect issue with the canonical tags, perhaps... but if you can post something I'd be happy to take a quick look...

Registered Trademark in a Meta Title or Content
I know that registered trademarks don't hurt SEO, however if the trademark is used in the middle of a popular search phrase (see below) will it hurt the site's chanced of getting ranked for this term. Example: Funkybrand® Shoes PS I found one brand that used the trademark Acuvue® contact lenses. thanks!

Google picking up wrong page title
Hi, When searching for "Tottenham Forum" on google.co.uk (link below) http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=tottenham+forum&ie=utf-8&oe=utf-8&aq=t&rls=org.mozilla:en-GB:official&client=firefox-a The site I manage (THFCTalk.com) is listed as 4th in the search results, but was hacked a few months ago and the search results lists the page title as "Free Shipping. Order Cialis Online. - Online Pharmacy" when the actual page title of THFCTalk is not actually set at that. Any idea how to fix this so Google updates this header on the search results? - as it is surely putting people off from clicking on our search result
