      I have a dating site, it's got a lot of duplicate page titles, most of them are the language buttons for the users to view the site in there language. but I think it's obvious that the buttons don't have anything to do with it. I'm thinking that page tittle is basically a description of what the site is. like for an example "online-dating" is this it? please tell me in terms for a dummy, how to fix it.

        It depends how you have created your site and if you are using a website builder for example or if you have access to the individual files on the server.

        Sometimes website builders and the like make it impossible to give each page a unique title, but it is very important that you do it. You will need to get into each html file and change it in the Title tag which will be at the top of the code for the page.

          Your questions a little hard to answer without a link to the site to see the problem in action, however <title>tags appear in the <head> section of your document, generally near the top of the code.</p> <p>The title for "This is the title" appears as so in the code:</p> <pre><code><head> <br /> <title>This is the title</title>

          You can also read up more on title tags: http://www.seomoz.org/learn-seo/title-tag

          However without a live example, and without knowing what content management system (CMS) or framework you are using, it's difficult to tell you the exact solution step by step.
