      I was looking in Google webmaster tools and it says I have 95 duplicate title tags for my site Noah's Dad.

      When I look through the list it appears the pages with duplicate title tags are some of my category pages, archive pages, and some author pages...

      Not sure if you guys can use some of the tools to see what is actually showing up duplicate or  not, and if you need more info just let me know.

      But I wanted to see if this is something I should be concerned with? Should WMT also say 0 in duplicate content?

      It seems like when I started my blog I was told no to be conceded with this sort of stuff in gwmt. Anyways...I just wanted to see what you guys think. (By the way, is there any way to tell what this duplicate content is having (or has had) on my SERP results?

      Thanks.

        Is it possible to for you to add canonical tags on the archived / pages to point to the most relevant page?

        I used the SEOMoz.org http://pro.seomoz.org/campaigns Campaign tool which reported any duplicate content / tags and fixed them, for our company's official website.

        Our secondary site which is an Oscommerce installation threw a bunch of duplicate content errors but somehow the Campaign crawler was crawling URL's that weren't really URL's
        ie a category page is outputted as /as568-nitrile-c-33_39_43.html but the crawler was hitting /c_33_39_43.html which is a valid url but it was forgoing the URL output function we're using.

              Thanks for the reply, but my site is a blog. I'm thought wordpress (or a plugin) was supposed to create the content in a way where those pages I mentioned wouldn't have duplicate content.

              Plus these are entire categories that are showing duplicate....so basically I'm trying to figure out if the "duplicate content" that's showing is actually hurting me serp or not...and if I need to try to fix it.
