Duplicate Title tags vs. View All for search results

[tguide]

I run a directory and some search queries give almost 1000 unique results.

My moz campaign tells me that I have around 1,300 duplicate title tags etc.

I read online about canonical, rel=next/prev, also about having a 'view all' page just for google (page links, not search queries), but if I do this, wouldn't the slowness mean google won't index it?

So the question is what is the best thing to do?

Hello Tguide,

To get around the long load time you could use a view all page as the canonical page and rely on a script to load more content as the user scrolls down. Sites like Twitter and Pinterest do this almost infinitely. Look up infinite scrolling and lazy loading as good places to start. However, this may be difficult to implement for some sites.

If you are worried about load time for a view all page you can use rel next and rel prev tags on your paginated pages. This should work just fine in most cases.

Moz will continue to tell you about the duplicate titles and descriptions, but you can ignore that warning if you have set up rel next prev or view all canonical correctly.
