sadams101 Posted October 19, 2023 Share Posted October 19, 2023 Bing Webmaster Tools has warned me that my site is missing meta tags like name="description" (and possibly others) on my forum threads that have more than one page...so on page 2, page 3, etc. Why are these tags missing on those pages? For example: Full meta tags: https://www.celiac.com/forums/topic/158669-not-celiacright/ Page 2 is missing meta tags: https://www.celiac.com/forums/topic/158669-not-celiacright/page/2/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Management Matt Posted October 23, 2023 Management Share Posted October 23, 2023 Mostly to prevent Webmaster tools complaining of duplicate meta tags. georgebkk 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Randy Calvert Posted October 23, 2023 Share Posted October 23, 2023 They are going to complain about SOMETHING! You’re damned if you do and even more damned if you don’t. Matt 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sadams101 Posted October 26, 2023 Author Share Posted October 26, 2023 So I believe the much better solution to this would be to carry over the same meta tags and add "Page 2" or "Page 3", etc. Having no meta tags is not considered to be good SEO.

As mentioned by my colleague above, they also consider duplicate meta tags to be bad SEO Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sadams101 Posted October 26, 2023 Author Share Posted October 26, 2023 They won't be duplicate if the page number is added to the tags. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
