Title tag code
-
Hi,
I have a couple of websites where I can't define the title tag (CMS does not support it) on a few default pages.
On these pages "the system" just uses the primary/main title tag (from the frontpage) and my programming skills (as if I have any...!) have not been able to make a html code or something to override the main title tag on these specific pages.
Does this make sense at all and can anyone give me a hint, a code to try out or something?
Problem is that I now have 3 pages with the same title tag which in terms of SEO isn't too good, so to say...
Thanks in advance.

Well if you think you have the means to undertake such a migration project then why not, would be a fantastic bit of experience and potentially a good earner.. Just be careful because it could be a big risk if you dont have the resource to do it properly.

I guess....no short cuts...some easy title tag html thing?...I am for sure more .com than .net...:)) - no programming skills...stopped learning after programming a calculator in Basic on my C64....that was my masterpiece....(!)
-
Hmmm...you're right - problem is, that I am the client and I'm constantly telling myself to try and find another cms, but with 2 websites with more than 20,000 products etc....its really not just something that can be done easily....
-
There is usually a way to code around it if you know your SQL and php or .Net, Impossible is never usually in a coders vocabulary...
-
I would say this is an instance where you need to go to the client and tell them there CMS is outdated (and sucks) and they need to progress into the current era of web, [UPSELL ALERT]

It is a forum where Dandomain users can post ideas on what they should work on in the future...
Which is quite a lot...

I guess I need to brush up on my Danish
It came up as something completely different in the English translation.

Hi Brent,
Thanks - it actually says that it is not possible to set individual titles for the 3 pages mentioned...hmm...but great job finding that post.
I guess it is not that difficult for an expert to make some code to implement or is it ? It is possible to implement your own code on these pages directly in the CMS, so... any ideas ,)

Try out Brent's solution in your dashboard and let us know how it goes :).

Translation sucks a bit, but I think it's saying it can be set at the page level in the CMS dashboard.

Hi George,
Thanks for your reply.
It is a local (Danish) web shop solution called "Dandomain", so my guess is that you don't know it
About 50.000 online shops in Denmark use this shop, but not many from other countries.
If you have an idea on what to do i would really appreciate it.
Thanks
Jan

What CMS? I might be able to help out once I know that.

Should we set up redirects for all deleted TAGS?
We recently found our site had 65,000 tags (yes 65K). In an effort to consolidate these we've started deleting them. MOZ is now reporting a heap of 404 errors for tag pages. These tag pages should not have links to them so not sure how come they're being crawled. Any suggestions from experience in this area would be useful.

Deleting Tags without Penalty?
Hello - We have a site with over 1,000 tags. We added too many and would like a fresh start as they are creating a lot of duplicate pages on the site. What is the best way to go about deleting all of these tags without being penalized by Google? Is there a way to tell Google direclty to stop crawling them? We would prefer to not have that many pages just sit as 404 errors on the site. Thank you.

Missing Titles?
Hi All, Don't know if anyone can help me but Moz is showing lots of errors for my website for not having title tags for pages when they do? Also when a user refines they search results it is seeing every instance of this as a new page - we have canonical tags across the site to stop this happening yet it is still occurring each time - is there anything else we can do to resolve this problem? It's creating lots of errors for us. Thanks, Laura

Title Keyword Order Question
Hey there, Hoping someone could provide me with an answer / some insight into this. As an example, if I were to be targeting "Fish markets in" and "Fish shops in" as my keyword(s). And my site name was "The Fish Guide". I am trying to populate my title tags as best as possible without sacrificing readability and definitely making an effort to avoid the the spam-factor. Ideally I'd like to rank well (just focusing on titles at the moment, nothing else) when a user searches for "Fish markets in London" and **"Fish shops in London" **or "Fish markets in Los Angeles" or "Fish shops in Berlin" etc. If I were to use the following structure in my titles (in this case for London): "Fish markets and fish shops in London - The Fish Guide" Would this work as I hope? I.E. If a user searched for either "Fish shops in London" or "Fish markets in London" would the format of my title in this example work or would I need to have "Fish Markets in London" and "Fish Shops in London" grouped together? E.G. "Fish Markets in London - Fish Shops in London - The Fish Guide" Thanks!

How can we fix duplicate title tags like these being reported in GWT?
Hi all, I posted this in the GWT Forum on Monday and still no answers so I will try here. Our URL is http://www.ccisolutions.com
Technical SEO | | danatanseo
We have over 200 pages on our site being flagged by GWT as having
duplicate title tags. The majority of them look similar to this: Title: <a>JBL EON MusicMix 16 | Mixer | CCI Solutions</a> GWT is reporting these URLs to have all the same title:/StoreFront/product/R-JBL-MUSICMIX.prod
/StoreFront/product/R-JBL-MUSICMIX.prod?Origin=Category
/StoreFront/product/R-JBL-MUSICMIX.prod?Origin=Footer
/StoreFront/product/R-JBL-MUSICMIX.prod?Origin=Header
/StoreFront/product/R-JBL-MUSICMIX.prod?origin=..
/StoreFront/product/R-JBL-MUSICMIX.prod?origin=GoogleBase These are all the same page. There was a time when we used these origin codes, but we stopped using them over a year ago. We also added canonical tags to every page to prevent us from having duplicate content issues. However, these origin codes are
still showing up in GWT. Is there anything we can do to fix this problem. Do we have a technical issue with our site code and the way Google is seeing our dynamic URLs? Any suggestions on how we can fix this problem? The same is true in our report for Meta descriptions. Thanks
you,

Using alt-codes such as ? in META title / description
Noticed a search result recently that really caught my eye and certainly stood out among the other 10 results on the page, the META description contained the following snippet: "Learn more about our ★★★★★ rated service..." Any opinions on how using such alt-chars might effect search positioning when used in either the title or description META tags? The starts certainly looked very different to anything else on the page... The claim of 5 star rated service was pretty much accurate so it was genuine and fair to use it...

Canonical Tag Pointing To The Same URL
Does it matter if a canonical tag points to the URL in which the tag is on? Example Page: http://www.domain.com Canonical tag: rel="canonical" href="http://www.domain.com" /> I only ask because a client of mine has a CMS that automatically does that to every page on the site and there's no way to remove it. Will this have a negative impact or does it not matter at all? Any insights would be great because I can't find a clear answer anywhere online. Thanks!
