        Having duplicate titles will most certainly be effecting your SERP rankings, along with many many others factors of course.

        Page titles should be unique on each page, and contain keywords that describe or that are relevant to the page.

            By the sound of you might of gotten a penalty of Google.

            I believe it might of been the penguin update.

            I had a look at your backlink profile, and out of a total of 2.9k links you have 968 links with the anchor text of "vietnam visa of arrival". This is a clear signal to google that you are trying to manipulate to rank for that keyword.

            Did the rankings decreased around the period of April the 24th?

                Ok so now we know it is due to the Penguin update.

                The first step to do will be analyzing every single on of your backlink. Use Webmaster Tools and export all the backlinks that are pointing to your website. Next you will have to check out each single backlinks to see the quality of the link. I like to use the Mozbar addon to quickly check what the MozRank and MozTrust of the page is where the backlinks to your site is located.

                Once you got the full list of links you want to have gone, you will first have to manually try and remove the links. This could be relatively easy if the link for example is from a directory where you had to make a profile first in order to create a listing. In that case, you can just delete the listing. Otherwise you will have to email the owner of the website if they could remove your backlink.

                Now if, let's say 2-3 weeks have passed and you still haven't heard back of some the webmasters (even though you contacted them), you can go ahead and use the link disavow tool. This tool however has to be used with high care.

                Have a read of http://searchengineland.com/google-launches-disavow-links-tool-136826 for an understanding of the tool.

                If you don't fully understand the tool, please come back to the SEOMoz forums and ask for help, you need to fully understand how it works.

                Good luck and feel free to ask any other questions!

                  Dear friend!

                  Thanks you for the support ^^!

                  My website backlinks are pointed from my another website by the banner at the left hand side  bar ( follow link, of course this is also travel website), and i litle is from the forum and blog, the biggest links are from my website ( another site).

                  So, Should i remove from my another website or from the blog, forum...

                  Because my another website have index 2000+ so the links are too many.

                  And with the backlink, what is the most important factors? PA, DA, or link root domain...

                  Thank you ^^!

                      I'm not sure what the "id=" parameter is doing, functionally, but there are many ways to control it, and Robots.txt is probably not your best bet. You could META NOINDEX the duplicates, or you could rel=canonical to the "master" page. It's a complex subject, and I've got a comprehensive post about it here:

                      http://www.seomoz.org/blog/duplicate-content-in-a-post-panda-world

                      Those duplicates can definitely dilute your ranking ability, and even trigger a Panda problem (that could harm your entire site).

                      I don't believe there's really a sandbox in 2012, in the way we used to mean it. Many sites go out the gate ranking pretty quickly. Sometimes, after an initial grace period (30 days or so?), Google lowers a site's ranking, but that's usually because they re-evaluated the link profile. Large-scale duplication wouldn't cause that. The good news is that, once you clean it up, rankings should gradually improve.
