I don't understand your problem statement:

"All pages in Drupal are same titles."

Can you please try to explain a little more clearly and provide examples?

Title: Page number on title » add Page number to multiple pages title

Issue tags: +SEO

multiple pages, pager / pagination page, pages with pager, paged page, listing page .....etc

e.g.
http://drupal.org/project/modules?page=1
http://drupal.org/project/modules?page=2

D6 ~ 8 have same problem :(

@droplet

Thanks for clarifying the problem statement.

Can you point to best practices and examples of how other CMSs are handling this scenario?

droplet commented

both examples on Issue Summary are common usage.

On homepage with pager, most site will be:
Site Name | Page 1
Site Name | page 2 of 10

Other page maybe:
Apple New - Page 1 | Site Name
Apple New - page 2 of 10 | Site Name

But its common pattern on Drupal (most node & page):
Node Title | Site Name

On Drupal homepage with slogan:
Site Name | Slogan

So I think the best pattern is:
Site Name | Page 1
Site Name | Slogan - Page 1
Drupal | Great CMS - Page 1 of 10000
(we can start adding it from Page 2)

(Page number provides more info to visitor and avoid duplicated content to search engine)

Can you point to external sources where the pattern you are suggesting is in use? Are other big companies, CMS products, style guides, etc. using or suggesting this pattern?

Sorry, no external sources. Every SEO guys have their own vision. and all of above are common pattern.

If you asked me about secret of SEO. I will vote for this:

homepage:
Site Name | Slogan

homepage page 2:
Slogan | Site Name - Page 2

Article page:
Apple New - page 2 | Site Name

Search page:
Search for Apple news - Page 2 of 10 | Site Name

Big companies have their own strategics.

e.g.
I'm a big shopping site. I just want you to know you're on "Brand - Searching KEYWORD"
I'm a Mac, then "Apple | Title - Page 2" is better for them.
I'm a ebook site: "Page 2 of 10 - Book Name | SiteName"

Matt Cutts never told me which one is better :)

Provide a PAGE NUMBER + Site Title and store in separated vars. Allow site builder to mix up their own pattern. We pick one which less hurt SEO and better for most site and users is good enough.

I ran into this issue as well so I made a module. It currently only deals with pages that come from page=[x] but could be adapted for other formats. Let me know what you think. https://www.drupal.org/project/pagination_page_titles

@caxy the module you made is an empty repository - do you have something private that's working and could be released?

This seems to be a feature which would fit best into contrib.
