Welcome to the Q&A Forum

Thomas,

Thank you for this recommendation. I already had the Yoast plug-in so I will now check the box for no-index follow for my tags and see what that does. Previously I had left categories, tags, posts etc all empty and not checked. I am only going to no-index the tags at present and se what results I get!

Many thanks again,

Steve

When I add meta data and a canonical reference to my blog tags for my on-site blog which works using a wordpress.org template, Roger generates errors of duplicate content. How can I avoid this problem? I want to use up to 5 tags per post, with the same canonical reference and each campaign scan generates errors/warnings for me!

Hi Eliathah, sorry for the delay! Been a bit mad recently! I am using a modified Zen Cart CMS that my webhost modified from an original template I believe. I have in the meantime been removing duplicate titles and content where possible. I have canonicals in place on every site page according to my webhost. How long do you think it will take Google to see the corrections? I have in the last 2 weeks gone from page 20 to page 11 for a couple of my main keywords.

Peter, I just discovered I have tons of duplicate content & titles. How can I fix them? It is hurting.

Without knowing I created multiple URLs to the same page destinations on my website. My ranking is poor and I need to fix this problem quickly. My web host doesn't understand the problem!!! How can I use canonical tags? Can somebody help, please.
