Duplicate Content or not?

Hello,

Here's a scenario. I have a long page and I paginated it.
How do I properly set the tags on this page so SEO won't treat it as duplicate content the subsequent pages? Any good tips about this?

Here's an example..
<snip>

What I did thus far was to have a different meta title and no content meta-tag while I kept the <title> same across all pages.
<meta content="Widgets Page 1" name="Title"/>

What do you think?

My best,
Q

Agh! I'm sorry about the long delay in reply, it looks like your thread was put on hold after I'd edited your original post. Please take a look at our TOS here:-

In relation to your question, as long as the page text is genuinely different, there is no duplicate content problem.

I would recommend using the correct <title> tag though. Your usage is incorrect, and should be:-

<title>Widgets Page 1</title>

etc
