      I own a store www.mzube.co.uk and the scam always says that I have duplicate page titles or duplicate page. What happens is thn I may have for example www.mzube.co.uk/allproducts/page1. And if I hve 20 pages all what will change from each page is the number at the end and all the rest of the page name will be the same but really the pages are if different products. So the scans think I have 20 pages the same but I havent Is this a concern as I don't think I can avoid this Hope you can answer

        Hi Mark

        Are you using Google Webmaster Tools to find duplicate page titles?

            Hi Mark.

            Your duplicate page title warning is an issue which should be addressed. You are correct the site's pagination is the source of the problem.

            The page title "Boys Toys | mzube cool gifts for cool people" is offered for both the following URLs:

            http://www.mzube.co.uk/collections/boys-toys

            http://www.mzube.co.uk/collections/boys-toys?page=2

            These are two different web pages with the exact same title which is an issue. One way to resolve the issue is to add "page 2" to your title.

            This issue aside, I would recommend removing "mzube cool gifts for cool people" from your page titles. It dilutes your keyword focus and spams the same text on every title which generally is not helpful. In summary your two page titles would be:

            Boys Toys

            Boys Toys - page2

              Thanks very much for your help I will have to speak to shopify about the pages as the program automatically creates the page title so perhaps they can change this. With regards to the mzube cool gifts for cool people that pulls that from the name of my store. I have changed it just to mzube. Do you think that's ok? Or will that still cause an issue? Sorry to be a pain

                Changing it to just the name of your site is fine. Your titles would now appear as:

                Boys Toys | mzube

                The only challenge is establishing a brand identity as many people will not understand what "mzube" represents.
