Duplicate Title Tags
-
Hi,
Are these 2 title tags different enough? Notice only the 's' on Templates is switched
<colgroup><col width="559"></colgroup>
|Invoice Templates | Invoice Template | invoicing Software | Invoice Software
Invoice Template | Invoice Templates | invoicing Software | Invoice Software

Thanks

Thanks. So if I don;t need both are Invoice Template and Invoice Templates the same keyword then as far as google is concerned?

Hi,
The obvious thing to reply is 'different enough for what?' but id also ask whats the logic for doing that? Its the same words but in different order. What value does one bring to page a that the other doesnt to page b? Pages should have unique page titles, the fact the first 2 phrases are in a different order doesnt render them unique. Assuming they are for different but similar pages id use different phrases such as invoicing templates.

Yes they are, but that's not a very good title tag. You don't need the plural and sigular versions in the same title tag. You should refrain from repeating the same keyword as well.
How about:
Invoice Template & Invoicing Software For [application here] | [Brand Name here]
Ideally, you should have a page for your invoice template and a different page for your invoicing software.

Product Tags
Opencart allows the use of product tags (please note, these are NOT meta tags) which I believe are used for when customers want to search for a product using the search function. So one of my tags could be ''star wars socks'', and when a customer types this into the search it brings up every product containing the tag for socks. This is all good and well, however, these tags appear on the product page itself, right below the Manufacturer/Brand, and above the price (they created pages but I have canonical links in them so that is a non-issue). Will Google look kindly on this or could it be considered as keyword stuffing? Or will Google know they're for search and ignore them? I just need to know whether or not removing them entirely will be a good or bad idea.

Duplicate Page Titles Warnings, htaccess Rewrite & Canonical Links.
Hey guys, Just signed up for a pro account and I am getting Duplicate Page Title warnings on links that are duplicate, rewritten for SEO, but have a canonical href tag. I have two sets of links in my store: SEO friendly: http://www.mysite.com/item/iphone-case Operational link: http://www.mysite.com/shop/product.php?pid=11 This operational link however has a href canonical tag pointing to the SEO friendly link as being the primary link. My question is; Do I need to worry about this Duplicate Page Title Warning if I am using a canonical tag on the Operational link pointing to the SEO friendly link? Thanks!

Help with duplicate title tags.
Hi Just going through Seomoz crawl diagnostics for one of my clients sites & see that the title tags for over 2,000 pages are the same due to the way there site software generates the titles using php, examples : **home page** = <title>Home - Trade prices,Next Day Delivery,Bulk Discounttitle> other page = <title>A0 Frames - Trade prices,Next Day Delivery,Bulk Discounttitle> So as you can see the page titles have the page name given to the beginning of the title which is fine as they have the keyword, then the text : Trade prices,Next Day Delivery,Bulk Discount Now if i take out the text : Trade prices,Next Day Delivery,Bulk Discount the home page is going to have just the word Home which is rubbish & the other pages will have the keyword which is better but not great, just wondered if any one has a better solution?.

Duplicate Page Content and Title for product pages. Is there a way to fix it?
We we're doing pretty good with our SEO, until we added product listing pages. The errors are mostly Duplicate Page Content/Title. e.g. Title: Masterpet | New Zealand Products MasterPet Product page1 MasterPet Product page2 Because the list of products are displayed on several pages, the crawler detects that these two URLs have the same title. From 0 Errors two weeks ago, to 14k+ errors. Is this something we could fix or bother fixing? Will our SERP ranking suffer because of this? Hoping someone could shed some light on this issue. Thanks.
