In Google Webmaster tools I get duplicate content warnings for paging pages. How do I fix this? Do I need to add Page 2, Page 3, etc. to my meta description?


HTML Improvements
Duplicate meta descriptions Meta description
information can give users a clear idea of your site's content and
encourage users to click on your site in the search results pages.




I have these already in place.

<link href="http://site.com/youth-basketball-tournaments?page=2" rel="canonical" />
<link rel="prev" href="/youth-basketball-tournaments?page=1" />
<link rel="next" href="/youth-basketball-tournaments?page=3" />

For SEO, each webpage must have a personal meta name="description".

Thus, a practice in your case is to add "- Page 2", "- Page 3" at the end of your meta name="description" tags in order to avoid duplicates.

Otherwise, you can just remove meta name="description" from these webpages (Page 2, Page 3...) and let Google fills them for you. This is how WordPress CMS works.
