      Duplicate page titles and brand name. According to SEOMOZ in my one of web site .there are many duplicate title tags some of them are company names .my problem is

      1. Do i need to make unique tile tags for each pages with keywords and what about putting company name in each page.

      2)Is it necessary to put company name (Brand name ) in each page.

        Yes you want to make each page title and content unique with the keywords that best describe the content of that page. If you can't create a unique page title then you need to ask yourself this -

        why do I need two pages that are titled the same, could I just have them as one strong page?

        I always include the brand name at the end of my title -

        keyword/description | brand name

        is the format I use successfully -  brand name at the end of the title for branding/recognition purposes.

        For a decent guide on title tags see SeoMoz's guide here - http://www.seomoz.org/learn-seo/title-tag

          Thank you for explaining this .

          but still i have doubt when using brand name for each page .then Google not counting company name as keywords .means duplicate issue ..

          for putting tittle this format is still valid "keyword/description | brand name"

            Well I haven't had an issue with duplicate page titles and if you include your brand name in the format I mention and the rest is unique then there won't be an issue with Google and duplicate titles, in my opinion. Also if you are still unsure start looking at major well ranked sites and how they have most pages branded without this problem. Take SEOMoz's titles for instance, they use this format effectively without issue...
