duplicate meta descriptions on google webmaster

Post by MeteorSoul » Fri Jun 08, 2012 10:38 pm

Hi,
I installed Joomla 2.5 in http://www.meteorsoul.com/nusantara/

Google webmaster told me that I have some pages that were detected duplicate meta descriptions.

I check that the page is created by joomla, for example:

http://www.meteorsoul.com/nusantara/component/content/
and
http://www.meteorsoul.com/nusantara/component/users/

please advice me, how to remove that page from my site.

This is most likely the result of using Global Meta keywords/descriptions under the Global Configuration section of joomla admin.

To fix, open up global configuration and delete EVERYTHING that is in the text boxes for Global Keywords and Global Description.

After that, you will need to make sure to enter unique keywords and descriptions for every menu item.
