Having both <title>and <meta name="title"...> on a web page?</title>

[DigitalJungle]

Hi All, Client of mine using reversed Meta Tags format in their website and Honestly i never saw such Meta Tags formats.

In my opinion having 2 Title tags and wrong reversed description tag is not correct and the needs to be removed, and other tags need to be changed,too

But they said that it probably doesn't make a difference because they don't think it affects search engine results and won't remove it just based on opinion.

Because weird thing is Search Engines are apparently able to index them. So should i persist on correcting them or just hope for the best and ignore it?!?!?!

Thanks!

That should be <title>only, the additional tag may not be causing an issue, but it will only cause confusion and if you're editing the page, you might as well fix it.</p> <p>As far as the description and keywords, open up the source code for this page and you'll see:</p> <p style="padding-left: 30px;"><meta content='Answers to ....... at SEOmoz' name='description' /></p> <p>Doesn't seem much different than what you listed, aside from single vs. double quote marks.</p> <p>This probably isn't the biggest fish to fry with their site, I'd personally focus my efforts elsewhere.
