Need help with huge spike in duplicate content and page title errors.

Hi Mozzers,

I come asking for help. I've had a client who's reported a staggering increase in errors of over 18,000! The errors include duplicate content and page titles.

I think I've found the culprit and it's the News & Events calender on the following page: http://www.newmanshs.wa.edu.au/news-events/events/07-2013

Essentially each day of the week is an individual link, and events stretching over a few days get reported as duplicate content. Do you have any ideas how to fix this issue?

Any help is much appreciated.

Cheers

The Title for that Page is

News & Events - July 2013 - Newman Senior High School - Newman Senior High School is located in the mining town of Newman 1200km North of Perth and is part of the Pilbara region. The school benefits from a diverse cultural student and staff population. This has promoted cultural acceptance of peoples from diverse backgrounds enriching the school community.

and for individual pages like : http://www.newmanshs.wa.edu.au/news-events/events/07-2013/4/ , http://www.newmanshs.wa.edu.au/news-events/events/07-2013/5/, etc are the same tile gets reused

Depending on the CMS you use there might be ways to generate a better title ( best to keep it between 60-69 characters ). You seem to be using something called BamCMS, and you might probably need to get them involved in finding a solution.

Ok, the titles you are using on different pages are technically scary and almost identical... Google wants the titles to be more unique on different pages.... these titles are coming probably because its hard coded and added after the content.

My advice would be to contact your webmaster and ask them to remove the hard coded title and the issue of duplicate title will automatically be resolved...

Try to limit your title within 65 t o59 characters.

If you are experiencing a duplicate content issue this must be because most of your part of the page is empty and identical to others...

For example: http://www.newmanshs.wa.edu.au/articles/events/mining-alliance-program-map-pit-to-port-excursion and http://www.newmanshs.wa.edu.au/articles/events/country-week

Have almost 2 to 4 lines of content and rest of the page is similar to each other.... I would advise you to add more content in it so that it becomes more unique!
