Hi all,
I checked GWT and found I have 19 duplicate title tags. I'm a total dunce when it comes to this sort of thing, and I find Googles explanations confusing. It's more than likely my reading comprehension that's at fault though.
I should mention I'm using wordpress and the headway theme. I'm also using SEO Yoast, with tags excluded and No index of subpages to show up in search engines, page 2, page 3 etc. As I thought yoast took care of most of this to avoid duplicate content.
So the title duplicates are listed like this (post titles removed):
[TD="colspan: 13"]http://my site.com/post title/post title-2-2/
htxtp://my site.com/post title/post title-2/
htxtp://my site.com/?attachment_id=506/
htxtp://my site.com/?attachment_id=506
htxtp://my site.com/post title/post title-3/
htxtp://my site.com/post title/post title-4/
htxtp://my site.com/post title 3/post title 3-2/
htxtp://my site.com/post title 3/post title 3-3/
htxtp://my site.com/post title-information/
htxtp://my site.com/category/post title-information/
htxtp://my site.com/?attachment_id=513/
htxtp://my site.com/?attachment_id=513
So am I correct in thinking that I simply add these urls to robots.txt, like so:
Disallow: /http://my site.com/post title/post title-2-2/
Disallow: /http://my site.com/?attachment_id=506/
Disallow: /http://my site.com/post title/post title-3/
Disallow: /http://my site.com/post title 3/post title 3-2/
Disallow: /http://my site.com/post title-information/
Disallow: /http://my site.com/category/post title-information/
Disallow: /http://my site.com/?attachment_id=513/ | htxtp://my site.com/?attachment_id=513
etc...
Then just remove the same duplicate tags in wordpress dashboard, post tags?
Would this solve the duplicate title tags problem?
Thanks.
