    In google.com search box, I typed site:myblogname.com and I see the google results shows duplicated titles for [Newer Posts] and [Older Posts] and very near to duplicated titles that is auto generated. See screenshot: http://www.screencast.com/t/uRu8TCYoH

    Please advice me how can I avoid duplicated titles.

    I am using all in one seo plugin.

    Thanks

    From the screen I see you are using Wordpress.
    You can use robots.txt to prevent the duplicate titles: you need to disallow /tag/* and /page/*
    I don't know your plugin, but with YOAST plugin seo you can choose a different title and meta for catagory, page, tag, and manage all these items.

    Regards.

    like @carlo75 said Wordpress SEO by Yoast would be very beneficial for you. It's the best all in one SEO tool and wordpress itself actually recommends it. Once you swap the plugins, change the titles manually and wait for them to get reindexed. Good luck

    What is the exact setting/place to prevent [older post] and [newer post] duplicated titles in all in one seo or wordpress seo by yoast plugin?

    For example a similar blog Engadget has the [older post] and [newer post] at the bottom of the site and they also have duplicated titles in google index. See screenshot http://www.screencast.com/t/9xnEKq9hR8Rv

    I cannot find the place/setting to set seo setting for pages like myblogname.com/page/2/‎ myblogname.com/page/3/‎ , these seems like not real pages and do not have seo settings.

    Thanks

    You can set your database to prevent duplicate titles from being entered.
