I've only just noticed that googles webmaster tools is reporting that my site has lots of pages with duplicate title tags? it's basically saying every image on my site 700+ has a duplicate title tag and some has more than one duplicate. See example of one image below.

Any ideas how to resolve this?

/ga​lle​ry2​/ma​in.​php​?g2​_it​emI​d=9​1&g​2_j​sWa​rni​ng=​tru​e
/ga​lle​ry2​/ma​in.​php​?g2​_it​emI​d=9​1
/ga​lle​ry2​/ma​in.​php​?g2​_vi​ew=​sli​des​how​app​let​.Sl​ide​sho​wAp​ple​t&g​2_i​tem​Id=​91

I care because my site was on page 1 of google for my main keyword and after there last F***up I mean update it now on page 120 and my traffic has diminished. I'm therefore trying to keep them happy so I may get back. They do appear to deem newspaper articles that are years old and other crap as more use and important than my site and gallery.

I didn't mean an example image I meant an example link. The link in my post is for 1 image in my gallery but shows as 3 duplicates in webmaster tools.

thanks

It certainly needs action ... needs you to take action by reading and acting on the relevant documentation on Google Webmasters.

You say you are going down the Google rankings but G2 has not changed the way it generates URLs etc ... so how could your G2 site have been up the rankings in the first place?

Bottom line is that you need to understand how Google Webmasters works and configure it to best serve your needs.
