      Hi

      I had some error messages in the webmaster account, stating I had duplicate title/meta descriptions. Ive since fixed it, typically how long does it take for a full crawl if Ive fixed these issues? Webmaster is still showing problems with various Title/Descriptions.  Also was wondering if I should block individual pages on a large ecomerce site? EX of a Large site -

      http://www.stubhub.com/chicago-bears-tickets/ (Page is structure and optimized)

      Then you have all individual games

      http://www.stubhub.com/chicago-bears-tickets/bears-vs-lions-soldier-field-4077064/

      they have an H1 and a meta description, should the page above be blocked from google and concentrate only on the Pain page?

      Thanks!

        As to how long does it take for a full crawl, it will depend on how long it was taking before the change. Depending on how many pages you had to fix, there are a couple of avenues you could take: resubmit the sitemap or if less pages, you could fetch as Google for those.

        As to the example question, that depends on the site, pages, etc. If the concern is to optimize for only the main ticket page to rank, it is possibly a good idea. The problem will arise as in this example with what if the searcher is searching more specifically? (For a given date - bears tickets 10/15/2012, etc)

        Hope this helps

          Robert,

          Google webmaster says

          Sitemap index Oct 2, 2012

          It seems as thought it crawls daily, if so shouldnt those duplicate titile, meta descriptions be resolved after the changes I made to them? Thank You

            • What if meta description tag comes before meta title tag? Do the search engines disregard or penalize if the order is not title then description in the HTML?
