Duplicate Page Title Crawl Error Issue
-
In the last crawl for on of our client websites the duplicate page title and page content numbers were very high. They are reading every page twice.
http://www.barefootparadisevacations.com
and
http://barefootparadisevacations.com
are being read as two different pages with the same page title.
After the last crawl I used our built in redirect tool to redirect the urls, but the most recent crawl showed the same issue.
Is this issue really hurting our rankings and if so, any suggestions on a fix for the problem?
Thank you!

Google webmaster tool>settings>set priority domain URL it will stop generating duplicate pages.
Redirection a plugin that I use for wordpress site,If your site is in wordpress you can apply it.

Having both www and non-www versions of your site accessible is definitely a duplicate content issue, as Google looks at those as different sites. If you have access to your .htaccess file, here is the code you want to add:
Options +SymLinksIfOwnerMatch
RewriteEngine on
rewritecond %{http_host} ^barefootparadisevacations.com [nc]
rewriterule ^(.*)$ http://www.barefootparadisevacations.com/$1 [r=301,nc]This will redirect non-www versions of your site to www.
