Title tags in duplicate pages

[k3nn3dy3]

hi there,

we have a new ecommerce platform which has just been deployed, and I've been asked to tidy up the onpage SEO.

we have employed canonicals across the category and product pages and we now have a nice set of unique product pages

my question is - do we need to create the title tags in all of the duplicate non-canonical pages eg

www.mysite.com/niceproduct.html    (canonical)

www.mysite.com/acategory/niceproduct.html     (duplicate)

Can we leave the duplicate title tag empty and not worry about it, or should we put in a duplicate of the canonical title tag

hope the question makes sense!

thanks in advance for all help

If you have the canonical in your page (www.mysite.com/acategory/niceproduct.html) then you dont need to bother making the title unique as google will index the set canonical page as the ruler over the duplicated and use all that information.
