Seo titles for listing sites

Hey. I have a question about similar titles.

Let's say we have a website that makes posts about the best car, real estate and let's say dating sites. Once you reach 50 posts, you're running out of titles, right?

For example, “best real estate website in Norway" and then next post will be "Where to look for real estate in Poland - Best websites".

What i mean no matters what but you will run in to same words which at this point are "real estate websites".

Of course, we put each post under the right category with do follow no index tags - for our example it will be "car classifieds".

So question is will you run in to problems once you reach lets say 100 posts for each category? Because 50% of titles will be similar no matters what you do if you want to rank for those exact kw.

Maybe anyone else have better ideas?

At some point you simply use the actual title required to get the job done.

Adding "seo keywords" to boost chances will eventually fail... g knows when it is getting gamed.

Reserve your seo keyword stuffing to category pages, not single posts.

YMMV

My largest category has about 12,000 products and all of them have the same final keyword e.g.

red widget
red green widget
red green blue widget
orange widget
black orange widget
black orange yellow widget

My meta description is about red widget or red green widget, my on-page product information includes red widget information or red green widget information.

All search engines have zero issue with spidering and indexing my widgets even though much of the widget information on each page is very similar / identical. A well thought-out standardised template will help not only yourself but also the search engines.

Of course bear in mind my sites are all hand-built but I do know that the most popular WordPress sites allow this level of refinement.

Even if the titles end up having similar words, you can still keep things fresh by focusing on different angles and perspectives for each post. And to make sure Google knows what's up, just make sure to categorize each post under the right section with those cool tags you mentioned. And who knows, maybe someone else out there has some killer ideas to share too!
