    Anyone have any experience in fixing the duplicate Title tag on a Wordpress blog multiple pages

    Basically the title tag remains the same on the pages

    /Blog/

    /Blog/Page/2/

    /Blog/Page/3/

    My good friend Yoast Plugin doesn't seem to of resolved this (Unless i have missed something?)

    I don't really see this to be effecting anything and wouldn't of through it would either, but it would be nice to not see the notification within Moz site crawls and campaigns etc, its more of a cosmetic problem

    Any solutions ?

    Thanks

    James

      It's in the Yoast settings Thomas.  Titles & Meta's >> Taxonomies

      I'm astounded I had never thought of this as the solution to my own issue.  Thanks to everyone above.

        I am having this same problem, and I don't understand the instructions here for how to fix it.

        If I go to edit category and add the code to the title, it just adds the code (character for character) to the url and still gives me /page/2 after. I still have a duplicate title.

        If I go to Yoast SEO settings - titles and metas and go over to the archive tab, there is nothing for category archive. Only author and date.

        Where do I put this code?

                Oh and i have always used Yoast,

                Why would All in one resolve this ?

                Can they be used in conjunction ? i assume not i could see that causing problems ?

                  Thanks,

                  Well the blog is setup sort of like an archive of past posts and news,

                  I have disabled tags index (dont use them anyway), date archive is disabled and only use Categories but only for usability for readers and these category indexes are set to no index anyway to avoid duplication,

                  So the articles index of pages 2 and upwards are all unique as everything else is no index,

                  I don't want to have all of my articles indexed listed onto page 1 as that wouldn't be good for my users,

                  So really i just need to reword the title tags of pages 2 and upwards to make them unique

                  James

                      Are FAQ's Pages Still Useful?

                      I know there has been a lot of discussion lately about FAQs pages and I'm wondering when and if they are still warranted useful and what if they have positive or negative effects on page rankings. Regards, John Brown

                      How many words per page?

                      I know this has been answered before, but I don't think it has been in about a year (and we all know how quickly the SEO landscape can change).  We're having a little debate on it right now and I'd be curious to get some feedback from the community. What is the minimum number of words you would use on a page?  Does it matter to you if it's a second tier (website.com/x) or third tier (website.com/x/y) page? It's always a tough sell on design between trying to keep it clean and trying to provide a lot of useful information.  I'd be curious what your thoughts are.   Thanks! -Adam

                      How do I properly sitemap a site with static pages + Wordpress in it's own directory?

                      I apologize for the awkward wording in the headline. No to the issue, I have a site with static pages that are created as follows: url.com, url.com/page1, url.com/page2, etc. I then have WordPress install at url.com/blog. What is the proper method for creating a comprehensive sitemap for my entire domain. I like the sitemap feature provided by Yoast SEO plugin but I assume it will only index the wordpress directory (url.com/blog). Any help would be greatly appreciated!

                      Duplicate Content behind a Paywall

                      We have a website that is publicly visible. This website has content. We'd like to take that same content, put it on another website, behind a paywall. Since Google will not be able to crawl those pages behind the paywall is there any risk to ua doing this? Thanks! Mike

                      Should a business blog be on a separate site or on the ecommerce site itself?

                      Hey there. I'm a new Pro member and this will be my first question on the Q&A. Thanks in advance for your responses. I'm the owner of an ecommerce site that sells custom candles. www.prometheancandle.com in case anyone wants to take a peak. I've become somewhat of an expert on all-things-candles over the past 4 years and I am thinking about starting a candle related blog. My question is this. Should I build this blog on the ecommerce site itself, say @ www.prometheancandle.com/blog.php, or should I devote a separate site to answering candle related question, history of candles, etc? At first, I was thinking that the blog should remain on the ecommerce site so readers would have easy access to the shop to be able to purchase products. But then it occurred to me that people who may be interested in reading up on candle history, candle making, meditation & candles, etc., may not want to go to an obviously ecommerce site to do that. I know Google values informational sites more than ecommerce sites (at least I think they do), so that encourages me to lean towards the separate site. Well, I may have just answered this question myself, but I'd definitely be interested to hear feedback and opinions. Thanks so much guys and I look forward to hearing from you.

                      Can you have too many words on a page for SEO?

                      One line of thinking is that you can not have too many words on a page because the more words you have the higher the chances that a long tail phrase will attract traffic. But can you go overboard with this? Is there a limit to the number of words on a page in terms of SEO?
