G is showing that there is duplicate title pages in my site...sitemap.aspx and any category that has multiple pages. Is there a way or future upgrade that will allow us to changes the title tags of these pages?

Example: sitemap.aspx has a total of 11 pages but each title reads "Shop The Lingerie Store - Sitemap" What we need is "Shop the Lingerie Store - Sitemap - Page1, etc.

I feel we are losing some SEO capabilities by each title and meta description being the same.

I am getting flagged in my G. Webmaster tools.

Any ideas or suggestions?

You can add sitemap.aspx to your robots.txt so Google won't index it. That will prevent it from showing up as duplicate content.

Wouldnt that defeat the purpose of having a sitemap? This problem is much deeper than the sitemap...IE the categories has the same problem if you have two or more pages.

Same issue with search.aspx (static title tag) - should also consider dynamically insertering keyword into title tag, so when a search result page is used as a landing page or has a link from another site, search advertising, etc... it does not appear as duplicate content and has a more relevant title.

No suggestions NetSol?

In V4 you added the product number to the title tag, why just add the page number to this?

Thanks for the reply.

So will this be for the sitemap pages or category or both? Any time frame?

Search results, category product lists, sitemap. Coming in the next release, within the month (tentatively).
