Company Name in Page Title creating thousands of "Duplicate Page Title" errors
-
I am new, and I just got back my crawl results (after a week or more).
The first thing I noticed is that the "duplicate page title" is in the thousands, my urls and page titles are different.
The only thing I can see is that our company name is at appended to the name of every title.
I did search and found one other person with this problem, but no answer was given.
Can anyone offer some advice? This doesn't seem right...
Thanks,

I have the same issue. Can SEOMoz respond? Thanks.

Did you look at the pages themselves that they are showing the link to? I had the same problem when I started and it was because of the dynamic linking. RogerBot was able to crawl through pages that were auto generated, example a previous page link that would allow you to go back 6 years by stepping through each month, I figure no human would follow that link when it said "There is no data for this or any previous month", however a bot would just keep going and see duplicate content pages.
Note that there are "Duplicate Content" and "Duplicate Title" items, what you explain with the company title would be a duplicate title issue.

I edited my question, the specific error is with "duplicate page title" not content

In that case I would be curious what the answer is as well because I have the same situation with pages that are named "Example Title | Page 1 | Company Name", "Example Title | Page 2 | Company Name". I'm assuming the algorithm looks the percentage difference to dictate whether a title is different, not the actual different.
The above would drop over 500 Duplicate Page Title errors if the Page 1 & 2 were considered actually different.
