Duplicate Page Titles Warnings, htaccess Rewrite & Canonical Links.

[jason360]

Hey guys,

Just signed up for a pro account and I am getting Duplicate Page Title warnings on links that are duplicate, rewritten for SEO, but have a canonical href tag.

I have two sets of links in my store:

SEO friendly:

http://www.mysite.com/item/iphone-case

Operational link:

http://www.mysite.com/shop/product.php?pid=11

This operational link however has a href canonical tag pointing to the SEO friendly link as being the primary link.

My question is; Do I need to worry about this Duplicate Page Title Warning if I am using a canonical tag on the Operational link pointing to the SEO friendly link?

Thanks!

Hi jason360,

Rewrite the duplicated Title and make sure that both pages got unique content and description too

Here is good discussion http://www.seomoz.org/q/avoiding-duplicate-page-title-and-duplicate-page-content-best-practices , it may give you some ideas
