I have a serious query about meta tags? - Organo Gold - 04-28-2014 09:08 PM

Actually i"m facing problem about meta tag of my client website. The website has two title tags and two meta tags
one is
<meta property="og:title" content="can you help me out on-page seo"/>

And second is traditional meta tag
<title>can you help me out on-page seo</title>

I want to know whats the difference between two. And both title should be unique or similar.

hello,

all meta tags that have "og:something" in them are for Facebook Open Graph , in order for Facebook to read them and show them with the right title .

i.e. og:title , og:image , og:description etc etc

the <title> meta tag is for the search engines to show the correct title...

both are needed

but i would suggest you to use a little bit different titles and not exactly the same.

Hope i've helped

The first one is the code recognized by other platforms using open graph such as Facebook. The second one is for the search engine crawlers and is a standard element of an HTML for a certain website.
