Hello,
I'm trying to fix a duplicate meta information issue (meta descriptions and meta keywords) in a blog that uses pagination. The duplicate meta information is giving me warnings in Google Webmaster Tools (GWT).
Blog URL: DumbDomme.com (NSFW)
Theme: Suffusion
Other Info: I am not using an SEO plugin
For example, my meta description for the home/front page (NSFW) is the same as the meta description for page 3 (NSFW) of blog posts.
I've been trying to find ways to correct this problem, and it seems that adding page numbers to the meta information is my best option, but I don't know how to do that.
I found this code to fix the issue on another website, but I'm not sure how or where to implement it in Suffusion. I'm fairly sure I'll need to create a child theme, but I'm still having trouble figuring out where to put this code or how to modify Suffusion's code.
<?php if(is_home()) {
echo '<meta name="description" content="META DESCRIPTION GOES HERE.';
if ( $paged < 2 ) {
} else {
echo (' | ' . 'page ');
echo ($paged);
}
echo '"/>';
}
?>
<?php if(is_home()) {
echo '<meta name="keywords" content="META KEYWORDS GO HERE';
if ( $paged < 2 ) {
} else {
echo (' | ' . 'page ');
echo ($paged);
}
echo '"/>';
}
?>According to the website where I got the code, this would make the meta description for page X read: "Page X | Whatever meta description..."
My Questions:
- Is this the best solution to fix duplicate meta information on a blog-post based blog that uses pagination for back (earlier) blog posts?
- If so, how and where do I modify Suffusion to implement the change?
Any insight or help is appreciated. Thanks in advance.
Best,
D
