How do I prevent duplicate page title errors from being generated by my multiple shop pages?
-
Our e-commerce shop has numerous pages within the main shop page. Users navigate through the shop via typical pagination. So while there may be 6 pages of products it's all still under the main shop page. Moz keeps flagging my shop pages as having duplicate titles (ie shop page 2). But they're all the same page. Users aren't loading unique pages each time they go to the next page of products and they aren't pages I can edit. I'm not sure how to prevent this issue from popping up on my reports.

Two main options:
-
Edit your template so that for additional pages it just adds something like "P2" or "Page 2" to the page title. This is the preferred option
-
Block Rogerbot from crawling paginated content (https://moz.com/community/q/prevent-rodger-bot-for-crwaling-pagination) - this however, would block Rogerbot (Moz's crawler) from identifying other issues you might have with your paginated content / URLs
