Hi Just a quick question.I have a couple of pages on my website which all have the same title,description and keywords as the home page.However, the content on all pages is different and it all relates to the descrptions and keywords in the meta tags.Will I get penalized for this? I only started reading about this after they got indexed so maybe it will mess my website up if I change them now? Please advise. Thanks
If you change the meta tags related to your contents then you will get a good result for the key phrases so that u can achieve good position in SEs
But will it cause a penalization of any sort? After reading elsewhere it does not seem to be that much of a problem.
I think it will not penalize your site but it will even not do good. only home page will get good rank and other pages might not. its totally my view
i am using wordpress and thus have the keywords in header..so thats same for all..i dont think it causes any penalty..but is there any way we can have it different for each category
I think it can be harmful for your website, It's not good way to promoting your site, you should add different meta to all your pages and write a different description too
having same title,description and keywords in different sub pages will not penalize your site, however title,description and keywords on metas will be more useful if it's related to a certain page/content.
You wont get penalized however i believe that Google will only index one of the pages until you have changed your meta tags i advise you change them. It is better for SEO and for receiving traffic anyways
Google does seem to care about duplicate title tags and duplicate meta description tags. But, I think they only care in the way that mabel01 described. I don't think that duplicates can really hurt you, but I do believe that having the right tags on each page can really help you.
I'm not so sure about meta description tags, but Google definitely doesn't like duplicate page titles. Those pages will end up in the supplemental index.
Google is no longer publishing which index pages are in, so there is no way to tell. I have pages with duplicate titles that are doing well in Google.
Think of your site as a mall and each page as a store. You would not put the same sign up on every store. That should answer the question.
