2 Title elements on a single page

[Ciceron_main]

Hi there.

I am looking at a site that currently has 2 <title>elements present on every page through out the site. They have a main Title with appropriate optimization. Then they have another <title> that appears to be empty. It looks like this; <span class="html-tag"><title></span><span class="html-tag"></title>

I know having 2 <title>elements is not ideal. But if the second one is empty, can it still have a negative affect? </p> <p>Thanks</p></title>

It can. It's bad enough that Google sometimes decides to insert it's own content into the title tag displayed in search results. If you add in a second blank title tag, I'd say that reduces the likelihood that your chosen title tag will display even more. Why not just get rid of the second (blank) title tag? Is there a reason you can't or a reason you want to keep it?

Thanks, Donna.

I just came across it and was curious to know if it was as detrimental as I have once lead to believe. We will work on getting this issue fixed.

Thank you for the advice
