      My SEO Moz crawl today has highlighted for errors where page titles are empty missing. For example: http://www.musicliveuk.com/live-acts/hire-wedding-entertainment/wedding-entertainment-kent

      This page clearly has a title as do the other 3. Is it a bug in the system or am I missing something?

        I did not find h1 title either. h1 is one of the most important things on page that signals robots what is this page about.

          I have just added H1. I have lots other pages that don't have H1 tags though and it's not flagged them so I thought it was talking about the page title that appears in the webpage tab in your browser and not H1 tags.

            I opened up your site. First, every single page should have only one h1. Your homepage has like 5-6 or more. As well as other inner-pages. Also, avoid intersecting html tags in h1, like or<a></a>

            **<a>Put them in CSS

              Hi Samuel,

              Once in rare while there's a rare miscommunication between the SEOmoz crawler, rogerbot, and your webserver. This usually happens when roger crawls a bit too fast than your site can handle, and so your site serves up what are essentially empty pages.

              Roger reads these pages as blank, and records no title tag, meta description or links on the page.

              If the title tag is already there, then it's nothing to worry about. One way to address this in the future is to use a crawl-delay directive in your robots.txt file, which will slow roger down. To do this, place the following lines in your robots.txt file:

              User-agent: rogerbot
              Crawl-delay: 5

              This will make roger wait at least 5 seconds before crawling each page.

              Hope this helps. Best of luck with your SEO!
