Duplicate TITLE tag?

I use iWeb together with the RAGE SEO tool. They create meta tags in lower case. For some reason, meta tags (TITLE, DESCRIPTION, and KEYWORDS) are added to my HTML code after the site gets served up. So, I have no way to go to the FTP site and remove them. They cause duplicate title errors in Google. I wonder where they come from???

Yes, I believe I wasn't quite clear in my question. The mystery here is that there are meta tags added to my site without my involvement. Have no idea where they come from.
The code below came from my site (http://www.ethnicyum.com/). I never create tags with capital letters nor do the tools that I use create them. But somehow they are still added - not to my file on the FTP server, otherwise it would be easy for me to remove them and I wouldn't have to ask this question
<html xmlns="http://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml" xml:lang="en" lang="en">
<HEAD>
<TITLE>Ethnic Yum</TITLE>
<META NAME="DESCRIPTION" CONTENT="Reviews of authentic ethnic restaurants">
<META NAME="KEYWORDS" CONTENT="restaurant, authentic, review, ethnic">
<title>Welcome to Ethnic Yum - Review or View Authentic Ethnic Restaurants</title>

What is your title at the moment? It sounds like you need to
test for
each parameter and display a unique title for all
possibilities.
So, if tfm_order does equal ASC, dynamically place "in
ascending order"
in your title, and the same for the order by parameter from
the
querystring.

Duplicate Title Tags - but one product in multiple categories?

Hi there and Happy Friday!
I'm an SEO newbie so please forgive my ignorance on all this.. but I'm confused
I installed Google Webmaster Tools and it says I have lots of "Duplicate title tags"
"Your title provides users and search engines with useful information about your site. Text contained in title tags can appear in search results pages, and relevant, descriptive text is more likely to be clicked on. We recommend reviewing the list and updating the title tags wherever possible."
But - these Duplicates are coming from products being in multiple categories.
E.g Vanilla Diffuser oil is in This catalogue and This one and This one too - so our customers can find it easily on our website.
As we do fragrances we have the catalogue for the product (Diffuser oils - where all the oils show)
+ the catalogue for the fragrance name (Vanilla and Coconut - where all products in Vanilla Coconut fragrance show)
+ a catalogue that shows all products so customers (and us) can easily see everything on one page to order.
Am I supposed to ONLY put products in ONE category then do something different to make them show on different pages? Sorry for my ignorance on SEO - I'm finding it such a mindfield...
Also if anyone has the name of a fabulous BC SEO expert they'd recommend that has helped their site i'd love to know.

Hi Dandy
Webmaster Tools only shows you areas that may be a concern and just because it shows something it doesn't mean your ranking etc will be affected. However, if you are really concerned you should look at canonicals. You can read more about it here http://support.google.com/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=139394. Basically you are telling the search engines whichj is the main version of that product so simply show the product url in the main catalogue.

The Location bar shows me the TITLE tag info for a page in large font + the URL in small font. How can I turn off the display of the Title tag, I just want to see a list of URL's. Bad design to force it that way, I don't like it. I know what a URL is.

'''YAHOO'''
http://www.yahoo.com
I don't need the YAHOO. I find it so completely annoying that you have forced me to look at TITLE tags when I am trying to find the URL I want. This ought to be a setting that I could control. Is there a hack into my registry, or something along those lines, so I can turn off this horrible design element.

Mozilla hasn't changed anything like that in Firefox 3.6.x versions, which is getting security patches but not any further development of new or existing features. Plus, Mozilla doesn't install anything related to Yahoo, something else probably installed that.
Please provide a screenshot of what you are talking about. <br />
https://support.mozilla.com/en-US/kb/Adding+screenshots <br />
There was a feature similar to what you are describing, that was in and out of the Firefox 4.0 betas last fall, but the 3.6 versions never had anything remotely like what your description has me visualizing.
Ate you sure that one of your add-ons isn't doing that? <br />

How to set the value of the title -tag

Hi
I try to set the html-title of the html file rendered by the portal framework. I've found the <head>-tag in the head.jsp skeleton file but there is not title tag. How is the header rendered and how could I determine the title for each page individually?
thanks for any help...

What issues did you have with setting the backing file to the desktop?
One solution is to set a page backing file for every page that you want to allow to affect the portal's overall title. In the page's backing file (which could conceivably be shared across all the pages in question) you would write some code that would do something like:
1) get the desktop backing context
2) get the desktop's title
3) get the page's title from the page's backing context
4) append the page's title to the desktop's title
5) set the new title on the desktop backing context
I haven't tested this code, but the common page backing file's relevant method would look something like this:
public void preRender(HttpServletRequest request, HttpServletResponse response)
    DesktopBackingContext desktop
        = DesktopBackingContext.getDesktopBackingContext(request);
    String title = desktop.getTitle();
    PageBackingContext page
        = PageBackingContext.getPageBackingContext(request);
    title += " - " + page.getTitle();
    desktop.setTitle(title);
}

How to add src, alt and title tags to a PS generated Web Photo Gallery

I do some web design and need to add some tags to a web photo gallery created by Photoshop. Maybe this question should be directed to the GoLive / Dreamweaver Forum but since the gallery was created in PS I thought I'd start here.
I need to add src, alt and title tags to the images in the web gallery. Normally this is as simple as working on the code in the html page in which the image sits but the PS gallery doesn't seem to be that simple.
Can anyone tell me exactly how, and which files I need to work on, to add these tags to each of my 42 gallery images?
Thanks.
John.

You can't do it in Photoshop.
You can open the pages in a text editor adn easily ad any tags you want. They are simply html pages.
If you really want to, you can use Dreamweaver or Golive. Using a text editor is generally faster and easier because you can just copy/paste between the files and not have to worry about code rewriting in the WYSIWYG applications. Don't believe the GoLive/Dreamweaver hype about "round trip code" they both will alter code.

Title tag does not display all characters

Hello,
I think my question is probably extremely easy, but because I am new, I have no idea..
I bought a web template and so far all is fine.
One thing, Each page has a header, body text that is all entered by an xml file.
The header should be displayed by the title tag content. It looks like this...
<title>Text Field 2</title>
But when I look at my browser, some of the characters "Text Field 2" are missing and it displays "e Fed"
please check this link to see what I mean...
http://test.familycards.nl/
Does anyone have any idea why some characters do not appear? I tried caps, numbers,.. they all react the same.
thank you in advance...

Thank you for your response and help!
I did think of that.. Unfortunately the template did not come with .fla files, only a host of xml files. I did look for font info to see if perhaps there
might be conflicts with fonts or missing fonts. but as far as I can interperate the coding, cant find anything.. I will now include some coding here.
Perhaps it is helpful?
This is the beginning of the xml page I am working on to add a header and body text...
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<data>
          <title>Text Page</title>
          <field>
                    <title>Text Field 1</title>    ............        (this is the title tag that I place my header text in. but when it shows in browsers as [e Fed]).. the T, x,i,d,l are all missing..
<text><![CDATA[body text to come here.....
This is the global options xml...
<?xml version="1.0" encoding="utf-8" ?>
<data>
          <global bg="images/bg1.jpg" logo="images/logo.png">

Cannot create title tag, meta tags for iWeb site, per Google requirements.

I created simple website in iWeb to meet art show deadline
www.barbaraturnertigrett.com
but when I tried to submit to search engines (via GoDaddy "Traffic Blazer" product), several issues or errors noted...no title tag, meta tags, keywords, too little text, etc. Was told by Apple, there is no fix at this time...no way to access to actual HTML code, to add title tag or meta tags, etc...since iWeb is merely a consumer, not professional enterprise, product. Researching further, I even tried to submit to Google directly, not via GoDaddy "Traffic Blazer", but could not "verify" my url site (because meta tag missing and/or could not upload entire html file, as required. I'd produced client websites in past on Adobe GoLive and was learning Dreamweaver, when someone alerted me to simplicity of iWeb. It is clean and simple, but wish I'd anticipated these other issues. Is there a solution to this with iWeb or should I finish learning Dreamweaver and start over? Thanks for any advice you can share.

Both these last postings were helpful. THANKS. I could not open home.html file with "text edit", but when using Taco HTML Edit, it would open...so I dusted off (novice) HTML skills and entered the appropriate title tag and meta tag, per Google's requirements. Then, went to my GoDaddy hosting control center and (I think) I uploaded new file with new tags. Seems to be major lag time with any changes, so not sure my site is now successfully "verified", on Google. Hope I did not mess anything up, in the process. There seems to be various lag times before any changes take effect (right??).
So now...I'm very glad to find out about iMap and will buy it and watch the tutorial video, as instructed...since I am unsure if last 'fix'...fixed the problem, etc...and always eager to learn more. This is my first Apple discussion post, and certainly impressed/grateful for expert help. THX again.

Title Tags not working with iWeb SEO Tool

I created my website using iWeb and realizing iWeb is very controlling over title tags and such, I downloaded the iWeb SEO Tool. I have recorded my title tags and codes but when I search my site on google, Home is still recorded as the title tag. I even went so far as to add an HTML Snippet to change the title tag using java script but still no luck. Please help!

The main question is :
Does the title you added show in the browser title bar?
If it does then SEO tools did its job.
But don't expect Google to stand waiting next to you and updates its database after you pressed the ok button.
Check again in a few weeks/months.
And do not waste your time with that silly application or using a JavaScript in the HTML Snippet for the intended purpose. Google does not execute the JavaScript.
Just read this very carefully :
iWeb uses the textbox in the Header layer of an iWeb page as the title in the browserwindow.
Do not remove the original textbox, as you cannot replace it other than by selecting another theme and then change it back to the original theme again. Ruining the layout in the process.
If the textbox in the Header is missing, iWeb uses a textbox down the page in the Content layer. If that textbox is also missing, it uses another textbox. If that fails it uses the pagename in the Sidebar.
Sometimes you may want a different text in the titlebar and not display it on the page itself. Or not display it at all.
So use that textbox in the Header layer. Type your text. Then select the textbox. In the Inspector choose T, click a color to open the color palette and drag the opacity slider to 0 (zero).
Do Command-T to open the font palette and make the font smaller. (Or do Command--(minus)) Also use a font that doesn't change to an image. Arial is a good font. Perhaps do it first before making the text invisble.
Resize the textbox. You may want to change the height of the Header layer.
Do Command-Shift-B to move the textbox to the back, possibly behind other objects.
Next add a optional second textbox to the Header layer and use that one to display text on the page.
If you want to move the textbox to the front again to make changes, but can't remember the location on the page, drag the area with the mouse to select the objects.
Deselect objects you do not want to move forward by Command-dragging the mouse over these objects.
Next do Command-Shift-F to move the textbox to the front. Repeat the steps in reverse order to make the text visible.
Practice.
Then concentrate on creating interesting webpages.

Dynamic Title Tags in Webcenter

This is a newbie question. But I am going to be creating a complete external commercial website using Webcenter/jDev. I see nothing in the documentation about search engine optimization, and more importantly, creating dynamic URL-based title tags.
Will this be a problem? Or can I assume Webcenter is set up to easily generate a dynamic title tag based on the URL or some other paramater.
Any thoughts would be appreciated.

No thoughts on this?

Duplicate Title of Category | Calendar in Blog

Dear all,

How to solve this issue? Because the more category and posting date are the more SEO issues for my sites
Thank in advance for your advise.

Report column headings and title tag

Is there a way to add a title tag (similar to the alt tag for images) to my report column headings, so that when I hover over the column headings I get a description of the column?

I found a solution here:
