Duplicate Title Tags - Wordpress & G Webmasters

    Hi guys, first post so go easy :)

    Anyway - Google Webmasters is saying that I have duplicate title tags. According to G, the duplicated title is 'C905 Preview : Sony Ericsson C905, C905.....'

    As I understand, this is because I have a category called 'C905 Preview' and a tag in a post called 'C905 preview'.

    So I deleted the tag in the post about 5/6 days ago hoping things would sort themselves out. However, the seciton in the G Webmasters site where it informs me of the error updated itself on the 8th Sept and the issue is still in my account.

    Just wondering - is the error still persistent in my G webmaster account because the G spider probably hasn't revisited the post where I removed the tag? Or am I missing the point somewhere?

    Thanks for reading. Look forward to chatting.

    It shouldn't be a problem. I have had site errors stay in google webmaster tools long after the problem has been fixed.

    You can also add a plugin in wordpress to change or customize your title tags. All-In-One-SEO plugin is the best.

    Download and install the SEO Title Tag 2.3.2 plugin. You can then customise how each title is displayed.
