Will canonical tag get rid of duplicate page title errors?

[fourthdimensioninc]

I have a directory on my website, paginated in groups of 10. On page 2 of the results, the title tag is the same as the first page, as it is on the 3rd page and so on. This is giving me duplicate page title errors. If i use rel=canonical tags on the subsequent pages and href the first page of my results, will my duplicate page title warnings go away?

thanks.

They will definately go away with canonicals, but take page content into consideration as well. Can the second or third page bring a different value for the visitor? May it appear in the serps for other search querries than the first? If this is the case than with canonilizing second, third etc pages you stop them from ranking in google. If they do not bring additional user benefit, than be no afraid to plce the canonicals.

thanks for your response. No the second or third pages do not bring any added benefit to a user visiting via SE. This should remove over 100 errors, so thank you.

Of course, we just change the titles manually for each page. Pretty easy to do.

One other maybe even better solution would be to implement a see all button, to list all products under one page for the engines. Look here: http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2011/09/pagination-with-relnext-and-relprev.html

I think this is specially for you

this is a great idea. I think that the view all is most likely my best option.
