      Hello, I am running into a little problem that i would like to have a feedback on.

      I am running multiple wordpress blogs and Seo Moz pro is telling me that i have duplicate title tags on canadiansavers.ca vs http://www.canadiansavers.ca/page/2

      I can dynamically add a page 2 to the title but I am correctly using the link rel: next and rel:previous

      Why is it seen as a duplicate title tag and should i add the page 2, page 3... in the meta title

      thanks

        First you need to distinguish two things the SEOmoz Crawler and GoogleBot.

        and there is algo in Googles algorithm that when ever they see rel prev next they will treat as a series and understands your pagination. SEOmoz Crawler dont do that.

        adding page 2, 3 to the title will help you remove that warning in the dashboard.

          I agree the Algos are for Google bot and they will react accordingly where as SEOmoz crawler may not act exactly like the Google bot.

          The advice is to make titles a little different on page 2

            It's not just about stopping a warning from the SEOmoz system - it is an SEO best practice to ensure every page has a unique page Title, and in a series of pages within a paginated set, assigning the page number to each Title helps inform people who see that page Title in search results or elsewhere, that it is a page within a series, and which page it is.
