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

Hi Laura!
I took a look at our crawl data and at the time of the crawl on November 12th our crawler did not find the titles on the page so I looked at a cached version of the page on November 8th which does show the title was missing with
Hope this helps!

I have checked the pages as Jeff did and it looks everything is ok. So may be is an error from moz report because if you do the page analysis with moz bar, shows everything is ok.
Good luck

Thanks Jeff!
Yes, this is what we found.
Do you have any idea why Moz would be saying that these page titles are missing then?
Is it not something to be concerned about then even though Moz is saying they are missing?
Thank you so much for your help.

Okay... I took a look at the original page, as well as the page that has the sorting done to it. In both cases, I was able to see that it had a page title displayed:
<title>Serviced Apartments in Greater London | Central London Apartments</title>
However, I wasn't sure if it was a browser issue, so I ran the URL through the Screaming Frog app, and found that it, too, is seeing valid page titles when items are sorted (please see attached screenshot).
I hope this helps... from my end, it looks like the page titles are showing up properly.
Thanks,

Hi Jeff,
Thanks so much for the quick reply!
The page is:
https://www.central-london-apartments.com/area-greater-london.php
and when a user sorts the results it's showing missing titles for pages like this:
https://www.central-london-apartments.com/area-greater-london.php?sort=recommended&page=3
Thanks,
Laura

If you can share an instance of one of the pages that has a title tag, but doesn't show up in Moz, that might help to troubleshoot?
It could be a redirect issue with the canonical tags, perhaps... but if you can post something I'd be happy to take a quick look...

Duplicate Page Titles Issue in Campaign Crawl Error Report
Hello All! Looking at my campaign I noticed that I have a large number of 'duplicate page titles' showing up but all they are the various pages at the end of the URL. Such as, http://thelemonbowl.com/tag/chocolate/page/2 as a duplicate of http://thelemonbowl.com/tag/chocolate. Any suggestions on how to address this? Thanks!

Exact Match Domain & Title Tag / URL
I currently own an exact match domain for my keyword. I have it set up with multiple pages and also a blog. The home page essentially serves as a hub and contains links to all the pages and the blog. My targeted keyword is on its own page and I made the title tag the same as my keyword. As an example the URL for my targeted post looks like this: benefitsofrunningshoes.com/benefits-of-running-shoes I have solid, non-spammy content and clean whitehat earned backlinks directing to that specific page. My concern right now is that the URL looks kinda spammy. The website has been live for about a week and the home page ranks well enough but my targeted page is no where to be found. (it does show up if I manually search via search command "site:benefitsofrunningshoes.com"). I'm wondering if it is acceptable to use the exact keyword in title tag / page url if it is also in the domain as an EMD? Should I change the title tag and leave the URL in? Or should I completely change the title tag and URL and 301 redirect to the new page? I appreciate any help!

Title errors for pages behind a login
On our website we have content which is located behind a members login. the SEOMoz crawl report has returned these pages with a "no title" error against them. It appears that these pages are being crawled until the website prompts it to login. I can only presume that it follows the url but doesn't have an opportunity to crawl the meta data. what is the solution for these pages? 401, so that the bots know these pages are behind a login? do we implement anything to ensure "no index", "no follow"? I searched the T'interwebs and couldn't find anything conclusive on this issue.

Hi Mozzers, I am a newbie, for sure. But I have been able to figure out how to help my customer very well; with the help of SEOMOZ of course. Here is the question: My customer (ZR) has a competitor and they use the phrase ZR.com in the title of one of their high ranked pages. Please see the enclosed graphic for the complete story. I would love to know if it is even legal (a pro would know) please see enclosed JPG... Thanks a bunch! OJ0ZL.jpg
