Careful with your WP Blog themes: Check yours now.

Hey Guys,

Just thought I'd pass this on because I've seen it happening on some of our clients blogs and noticed it's more common than you'd think.

It applies to you if you have picked a WP theme and are also using the All in One SEO plugin.

As you'll know, the All in One SEO plugin adds a new title tag, keyword tag and description tag to your post pages when you use it.

But with some WP themes, the title tag is hard coded in, in such a way that it's not overwritten and replaced by the All in One version. Personally I'm a tech retard so I couldn't explain to you in any more depth why or how the title tags in the theme are like that, but suffice it to say it can happen and does.

The result is that a bunch of your content could be sitting there with 2 title tags, something that Google will both think is weird, some believe worthy of a penalty, and if nothing else, confusing when they're trying to rank your pages/posts.

So check it out and if you're techie enough, adjust your theme code or if not, time to switch to a new theme.

Hope this is helpful
