      I just redesigned my website and suddenly traffic has dropped.

      Moz says I am missing titles, meta tag descriptions and have a lot of duplicate content.

      My site is http://skigenie.com and is full of unique and hand written content,.

      Are there any wordpress plugins that will add titles etc to my pages (some of the added ones are custom)?

      Any help would be much appreciated!

        Yes, that's correct. You have OG:title and OG:description (opengraph data) but you don't have a <title>tag or meta description on your pages.</p> <p>The duplicate content is your /tag/ URLs:</p> <p><a href="http://skigenie.com/tag/skis/">http://skigenie.com/tag/skis/</a> has the same info as http://skigenie.com/tag/find-skis/</p> <p> </p></title>

          Do you know how I can fix it?  Is there a plugin or another method?

            YOAST SEO plugin is one of the best SEO plugins, you can manage OG meta and force rewrite rules on custom pages 🙂

              Also, if your new website means that the URLs of your pages have changed you'll want to think about implementing some 301 redirects to your new pages. Check your inbound links and make sure that the target pages are redirected to the most relevant new page.

                You can setup Yoast Wordpress SEO or All In One SEO Pack and set them to block duplicate content (tags, categories, date archives, etc.) when you configure settings.

                  • Since July 1, we've had a HUGE jump in errors on our weekly crawl. We don't think anything has changed on our website. Has MOZ changed something that would account for a large leap in duplicate content and duplicate title errors?
