Duplicate page title
-
I own a store www.mzube.co.uk and the scam always says that I have duplicate page titles or duplicate page. What happens is thn I may have for example www.mzube.co.uk/allproducts/page1. And if I hve 20 pages all what will change from each page is the number at the end and all the rest of the page name will be the same but really the pages are if different products. So the scans think I have 20 pages the same but I havent Is this a concern as I don't think I can avoid this Hope you can answer

Changing it to just the name of your site is fine. Your titles would now appear as:
Boys Toys | mzube
The only challenge is establishing a brand identity as many people will not understand what "mzube" represents.

Thanks very much for your help I will have to speak to shopify about the pages as the program automatically creates the page title so perhaps they can change this. With regards to the mzube cool gifts for cool people that pulls that from the name of my store. I have changed it just to mzube. Do you think that's ok? Or will that still cause an issue? Sorry to be a pain

Hi Mark.
Your duplicate page title warning is an issue which should be addressed. You are correct the site's pagination is the source of the problem.
The page title "Boys Toys | mzube cool gifts for cool people" is offered for both the following URLs:
http://www.mzube.co.uk/collections/boys-toys
http://www.mzube.co.uk/collections/boys-toys?page=2
These are two different web pages with the exact same title which is an issue. One way to resolve the issue is to add "page 2" to your title.
This issue aside, I would recommend removing "mzube cool gifts for cool people" from your page titles. It dilutes your keyword focus and spams the same text on every title which generally is not helpful. In summary your two page titles would be:
Boys Toys
Boys Toys - page2

Why did I not get on page analysis
I signed up last Friday for a 30 day trial and was hoping to get the on page analysis so I could get cracking on it. Moz said the crawl was done but I have no info for on page analysis which I find really useful when I have used this before. Any ideas and are any of the MOZ moderators able to get the system to perform one so I can make changes tonight for the MOZ crawl again tomorrow? Thanks Paul

Sudden increase in on-page links
Within one week, the site crawl shows my on-page links going from ~10 to ~100+ Does anyone know of a rational reason for this? Sucuri shows my site is clean, so I don't think it's a hack. 10 seems too low to begin with anyway. Any ideas? Thanks 🙂

Twitter Page Authority Score?
I've been doing some competitive research in Open Site Explorer and many of our competitors have Twitter accounts very similar to ours. Their Twitter pages are usually one of the pages with linking to their website with the most Page Authority. The incoming links from Twitter are a "no follow" as you would guess. This has been the case for a large number of well ranking sites I have looked at. www.dremed.com also has a Twitter account at: https://twitter.com/#!/DREmed . However, Open Site Explorer does not list the Twitter link as an incoming link at all ( or if it does it has no Page Authority ). The Twitter account page seems very similar in nature to other competing Twitter pages. I'm not sure why it does not ALSO pull a high Page Authority score??? Do you know why this might be? Best, Justin

Why do pages with canonical urls show in my report as a "Duplicate Page Title"?
eg: Page One
Moz Pro | | DPSSeomonkey
<title>Page one</title>
No canonical url Page Two
<title>Page one</title> Page two is counted as being a page with a duplicate page title.
Shouldn't it be excluded?0 -

Title tag on sitemap.xml
The SEO moz is showing an error on one of the sites within my SE Moz account campaign under Crawl Diagnostics: Title tag missing or empty. No problem here but the file associated with this issue is sitemap.xml and that just dose't look right as as far as I know xml files are title tag free. I've searched around and i've been able only to confirm my initial thought that sitemap.xml dose't use a title tag .. like any other xml. is this an issue ? (the error that is) or i should let it slide. can it be fixed ? if yes, how ? Thanks !
