Does Title Tag have to be in the HEAD tag?
Hi David, Iain is correct that it must be in the head. No ifs or buts. Can you tell me what language or programme you are using for your website? There are pretty easy ways of making the page title dynamic based on the article title. Matt

Guest Blog Posts (Originally Seen on . .)
I would try to summarize that blog post in your own words and then provide a link to it, rather then a full version duplicate. It does not help in any way. If you can find a creative way to talk about that blog post, add some more depth and insight from a subject matter expect, it adds more value to that, instead of just being duplicated across the web.

Duplicate Content on SEO Pages
Hey, Yeah, I'd say those are nearly-duplicated enough where you might not get decent rankings/traffic of these pages. If you are already starting to see a decrease in performance as you add more, that is a pretty good indicator that you have a problem. Your idea of a master page might make sense and might give you a way to create more unique content. For example, maybe you have a page about airports in the New York area with unique content for that area and then provide the lists of transportation services based on an airport filter. Here are a couple of other ideas: Can you add in any unique content to these pages? Right now, you have the same sentence on each page: "Guide to all the Limo/Black Car services, taxis, airport service shuttles, shared ride vans and public transit to [airport name]." Could you make that more unique? Even something like testimonials or photos could help make this page noticeably different than the other airport pages. Can you get (good) links to these airport pages? I've seen some cases where having many good links to a duplicated (or near-duplicated) page still ensures the page ranks and gets traffic. I'm not sure if making a page unique or getting links is harder though. I hope that helps. Thanks, Matthew
