Google WebM. Tools Warnings; Duplicate Title Tags
- SEO |
Hi everyone!
So for the first time I've started using Google Webmaster Tools and have just connected my wordpress.com blog.
When looking at "HTML Improvements" - I can see that my website has 20+ duplicate title tags, 80+ short meta descriptions and 15 duplicate meta descriptions.
First, please tell me is this an urgent problem I need to solve in order to possibly achieve higher rankings? I have no clue how important this is or isn't to SEO. Of course, I want to solve this whatever the case is but I want to know.
What does this mean? -> "Duplicate title tags" - does this mean for example, if I have 3 pages about cars and each page in its title has the keyword "cars" for example if I had these pages:
Does that equal to duplicate title tags? Same question for posts.
If its not the title of the page/post, then where is this stuff? For example, I have a list of pages which contain duplicate title tags, the first page has 2 results:
So having comments on a page means I have duplicate title tags? What should I do here?
Short meta descriptions (80+) - My website also registers for 80+ short meta description and most of these links are images on my site which are linked to the attachment page e.g. /?attachment_id=99.
My post TAGS, are also included here, as being "short meta descriptions" - the tag, how can I influence a meta description of a tag I submit to each of my posts? What is to be done here?
Same stuff is registered for "duplicate meta descriptions" - Google shows the page link and then flags the comments page of that page, as a duplicate.
Please help me understand how to solve this issue, if it is one.
EDIT: Please take a look at this image, in the "Structured Data" tab, I'm showing 165 "items with errors", look at the data, what the heck are items with errors? How do I go about fixing this, this looks like every single indexed link of my website has an error. Why?
Sorry if I've went overboard with so many questions. :\
Thank you!

- New Cars
- Cars that are safe
- Cool cars today
