blade007 Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 Hiya guys, just noticed that every page seems to have the same <title> tag <title>RWG - The best replica forum online</title> This is making it a real nightmare to browse though my history and bookmarked threads. Please can you fix the page title to be the title of the thread? This is a potential SEO disaster as well, google will not index the pages as all of them have the same title..

FxrAndy Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 If this makes it harder for google to search the forum i am happy with that Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blade007 Posted August 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 haha.. google "will get you" a way or the other... a better approach might be to omit the <title> tag completely or have a misleading one like <title>jumbo vegetables</title> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
FxrAndy Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 I have a feeling jumbo veg may just get us more hits Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
docdoc Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 that is so strange. I used to bookmark pages with the right titles thread. But now it doesn't seems to work. I am on firefox. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruce79 Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 Take a look at the <meta> tags too...but I bet it has something to do with the google click ads and the like. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blade007 Posted August 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 but I bet it has something to do with the google click ads and the like. it shouldnt make a difference with adsense adverts. Adsense is "injected" by google using javascript and iframe. whereas the page titles are part of the theme template for Invision Board..

Adsense is "injected" by google using javascript and iframe. whereas the page titles are part of the theme template for Invision Board.. Google reads the meta tags, title and content to determine which ads will be best suited to the page. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blade007 Posted August 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 Google reads the meta tags, title and content to determine which ads will be best suited to the page. yeah thats true to a point.. but having the same title surely doesnt help does it? I assume it will be seen as "google keyword stuffing" or spam at some point? not to mention dupe contnet based on having same page titles alone? bad seo == less traffic == less money (from adsense) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I assume it will be seen as "google keyword stuffing" or spam at some point? not to mention dupe contnet based on having same page titles alone? <title> isn't an absolute. Google won't mark down sites without unique titles, but it will mark up sites with relevant titles. Adwords don't need high-ranking sites; I had better adword revenue from a PR3 site than I did for a PR5 for a while, and the PR5 was very nicely crafted for SEO.

freddy333 Posted August 21, 2008 Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 Yes, this is a terrible state of affairs. If it is not fixed soon, I will be forced to draft an angry letter to the Editor of The Times. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
blade007 Posted August 21, 2008 Author Report Share Posted August 21, 2008 (edited) alright guys... i just thought i will point this out.. for whatever reason u dont see it fit for pages to have proper titles is ur call... irrespective of bad seo or good adsense revenue. i am here for the watches and not to guide u all about good seo/website practices.. i get enough of that at work, atleast i get paid for it there.. now, what sub should i buy next?

phaedo Posted August 22, 2008 Report Share Posted August 22, 2008 This title thing is annoying - now all the pages are the same, can't figure out which pages to navigate back to... head about to explode!! It certainly may be the best replica forum online, but we don't want the whole world knowing, do we?? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
