    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

                      content marketing page authority

                      I feel like I'm wasting time by going out and creating backlinks for a new page to increase page authority, especially when I've already got the domain link for domain authority. In your opinion, how important is it to go out and create back links for a page? - am I wasting time I could be using towards creating more great content? Shannon Peel

                      Blog.site.com vs site.com/blog

                      Which is better for SEO: blog.site.com or site.com/blog.  In other words, is it better to have the blog running in a subdomain or as a director within the main site?  Right now we are running as a subdomain, but want to be sure Google isn't considering that a separate site.  The blog shows up separately on Google Analytics, which makes me think site.com/blog is better if for no other reason, it would give our domain greater traffic. Not sure if this matters, but some site info: our site is a sharing economy tool for renting your stuff we are running the blog on Wordpress blog traffic is about 5% of total traffic

                      I have a site that is running its blog on www.blog.xyz.com and I am looking for ways to increase Google traffic. Would it be better to running the blog on something like: www.xyz.com/blog instead?

                      At what point to stop comments on a blog? Do too many comments hurt the page?

                      I have a page that's ranking pretty well, and driving sales.  That page is starting to get 10+ comments per day and is starting to get quite long.  I was wondering if there is a point where I should disable the comments?  My gut tells me that people interacting with the page, and Google seeing responses with the users SHOULD be a good thing not bad.  But, then I think that a majority of the content of the page is no longer the article, but the comments. All the comments are good, non spammy and directly related to the topic.  People just asking questions, etc.  Good engagement, I should be happy right?

                      Is it okay to delete old blog posts?

                      Hi All, I'm doing some SEO work on an entertainment (movies/tv/gaming) blog that started in 2011. Their recent articles have gained some popularity due to improved content and marketing, but there is some old stuff from the early days that was poorly written and gets virtually no traffic. These are mostly old news pieces. Out of approximately 10,000 articles, about 1,000 are receiving the lions share of the traffic. I feel like their good content is getting bogged down in a sea of crap. Would there be any harm in deleting some of those old posts? Is there a best practice for culling content? Thanks!

                      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!

                      H1 tag in Blank in Wordpress website

                      Good evening, I have noticed using some h1 checkers, that my primary h1 tag is blank. I manually introduced an h1 with my main keywords, but system recognises as 2 different h1 tags, and therefore it could be harmful for my SEO purposes. I created my wordpress website using Artisteer. Is there any specific way (or plugin) to change this primary h1 tag so it wont appear as blank? My site is www.outletspain.net Thanks in advance Maria Jesus
