: Should each page of a Blog listing have its own Title Should example.com/Blog?Page=1, example.com/Blog?Page=2, etc have the same title? I have done some research on this and SEOMoz's tools

They use unique titles for each article, then. TITLE is used to describe a page, not a website. IMHO the best user experience is provided when you use a well defined, consistent template for titles, for example "title of the page - name of the website" or "archives for MONTH YEAR - name of the website".

From users point of view, it would make sense to have unique titles for different pages. If user bookmarks several pages on your blog and all have the same title, that's not a good user experience.

Golden Rule #1 : Every unique URL should have a unique page Title

Supporting Rule #1 : Posts or Articles that are paginated (for whatever reason) are unique pages in their own right, in that the content that appears when accessing that URL is different from the other pages.

Hypothesis: Having different paginated pages of an article/page with a shared title means you are giving search engines fuzzy signals as to what content is on what page.

Theory: If you confuse the search engines, you are likely to confuse your users. If it helps a user to view the title of a URL and have it indicate that it's page x of y, then that helps, correct?

So if for no other reason to provide additional help/clarification for your users you should consider adding the page number (or 'page #' etc) to the title. If this helps you in the search engines as well, then bonus.
