Ecommerce SEO: Title Tags for pagination

[19prince]

Here's a specific question about title tags for ecommerce website...

We've got lists of products (category list pages) that stretch for many pages... is there any benefit to added a something to make the title tag unique.

For example:

Page 1: <title></span><span class="html-tag" data-mce-mark="1">Category List Page Example</span><span class="html-tag" data-mce-mark="1"></title>

Page 2: <title></span><span class="html-tag" data-mce-mark="1">Category List Page Example - Page 2</span><span class="html-tag" data-mce-mark="1"></title>

Page 3: <title></span><span class="html-tag" data-mce-mark="1">Category List Page Example - Page 3</span><span class="html-tag" data-mce-mark="1"></title>

FWIW, we've got the pagination and canonicalization nailed down tight. Moz crawl actual brought a dupe content issue based on title tags.

If you are using pagination and have rel="prev" and rel="next" on number links then I would ignore the alert from Moz crawl. You don't want to make these into unique pages.

As long as rel prev/next is correct, and each page canonicals to itself (see second to last bullet on this page), then I think those title tag formats look good. Aside from getting rid of the Moz errors, it sends a stronger pagination signal to Google, and may be useful to the user.
