Duplicate Page Title

[mcardenal]

Hi

I just got back from first crawl report and there were plenty of errors. I know this has been asked before but I am newbie here so bear with me.

I captured the video. Any ideas on how to address the issue?

Duplicate page content.... or duplicate post?

Anyway, having separate title tags for each page helps searchers get a good idea of what the page content is about and provides an SEO boost if they include your keywords. Try to keep it relevant to the page and only squeeze in keywords where it's natural to do so.

If you are running Wordpress, then you can use the excellent Yoast plugin to make SEO title tags easier to change.

Also, the video is pretty hard to see...screenshots might work better.

Thanks for the reply. No, it's not a duplicate post it's actually two different issues. I am running a wordpress blog and I also have that plug in by SEO Yoast.

Here is a screenshot where you might be able to see it better. Any feedback on how to fix the problem?

Hi mcardenal.

Given you're a newbie you might just need to walk yourself thru the site and make sure all your title and description tags are unique.

Your site is not huge. I would start with a screaming frog crawl of your site. The basic software is free. It's an extremely easy way to crawl your site and quickly and easily find duplicate tags.

A standard Wordpress installation isn't SEO friendly. But you're in luck! Back in February there was an advanced SEO webinar hosted by SEOMoz and lead by Nick Herinckx. Nick explains what you need to do maximize your findability.

Here's the link to the webinar - http://www.seomoz.org/webinars/advanced-wordpress-seo. It runs about an hour and a half including Q&A, but it's well worth your time to watch it.

You have unnecessary repetition in your tagline as well. "Conquer student student debt!" You might want to fix that at the same time.
