How to get page number included in the title tag on home page?

    I have a few wordpress blogs and noticed that for all the themes that I'm using wp_title returns the same value for a home page with most recent posts and for older pages (e.g. page 2, 3, etc.). I assume they use is_home() or is_front_page() - both return TRUE when you go to "older entries" in posts index. As a result of this, I have the same title tag on the home page and on the pages displaying the list of older posts. With over 1000 posts in a blog I end-up with 10+ pages having the same title tag, which is really bad for Google indexing...

    Yet, when I look at some other blogs (not mine) I see that page number is properly displayed in the title. For example:

    http://cutepuppylove.me/page/3/ has title tag:
    "Cute Puppy Love | All the Cute Stuff You Love to See Everyday! | Page 3"

    while http://cutepuppylove.me/ has title tag:
    "Cute Puppy Love | All the Cute Stuff You Love to See Everyday!"

    Do you have any suggestions on how can I to get this "Page #" added to the title?

    I was hoping that using is_front_page will help and changed title section in header.php to:

    is_front_page() ? bloginfo('name') : wp_title('');

    but it didn't help...
