    Question Duplicate meta descriptions and Title Tags

    Hi,

    I have seen the popular threads here concerning this topic and mine seems to be unique, and I have followed most of the steps described and this issue has not changed.

    I am using VBClassified and Google Webmaster tools is telling me I have thousands of duplicate meta descriptions and title tags, however, these seem to be limited to the classified install, as the others listed I have fixed and were legit dupes.

    Here is an example of some of the URLs that it is telling me I have this issue:

    Code:
    
    
    /forums/exchange/category-12.html
    /forums/exchange/feedback/all/1021.html
    /forums/dnl-exchange-domain-website-listings/11316/
    
    Essentially, variations of these URLs for each user.

    Duplicate title tags seem to arise from the iTrader as well.

    I guess what I am asking is, how this be fixed?

    It's a poorly written mod in terms of SEO. You will need to re-code the areas to include vital information in the title and/or meta tags.

    Ultimately, these are warnings, not errors. I wouldn't lose sleep over them.

    Thanks for the information. I have consulted with the new owner of the script and hopefully something will be implemented soon. This is really (and the itrader) the only warnings I have left now, so a load feels somewhat lifted.

    Thanks again for your help.
