      Hi,

      My product categories have 2-3 pages each.

      I have paging implemented with rel=next and rel=prev.

      from some reason Google GWT now reports the pages as having duplicate titles and description.

      Should I be worried?

      Should I set a different title like "blue category - page x" ?

      Thanx,

      Asaf

        Yes, you should add "Page x" to the title, meta description tag and H1 header tag to avoid duplicate errors.

          It causes a slight loss of link juice which could add up to a big problem if multiple pages have this problem. Try canonical linking with this code.

          <---That is your basic skeleton

          <------Page you want to hold the link juice power, usually the strongest page.

          Hope this helps friend, Good luck on the quests!
