| Re: Questions about pagination, rel="next" and rel="prev", or view-all in search results? | Emanuele | 9/15/11 5:56 AM | Is it useful to use rel next/prev into the footer links of a blog (after the posts) where is displayed "Next/previous page"? Or is better to use it only when an article is subdivide into multiple pages? Thanks. |
| Re: Questions about pagination, rel="next" and rel="prev", or view-all in search results? | milkiwayV12 | 9/15/11 7:17 AM | What about rel canonical ? Do we still have to implement a canonical on paginated pages ? Wich page to choose canonical ? Thanks |
| Re: Questions about pagination, rel="next" and rel="prev", or view-all in search results? | anthonydnelson | 9/15/11 7:20 AM | Question about next/previous: What do you do when there are links to multiple pages? Example: You are on page three, but there are links on the bottom to go to page 1, 2 as well as 4, 5, 6 and 7. Do you use rel="previous" for the link to page 2 and r |
| Re: Questions about pagination, rel="next" and rel="prev", or view-all in search results? | poooook | 9/15/11 7:29 AM | @anthonydnelson you set it in the head, not on the a tag.. so you would put prev with a link to page 2 and a next with a link to page 4 to indicate it is part of a series. I wonder if more than one next is supported though? I guess this is not techn |
| Re: Questions about pagination, rel="next" and rel="prev", or view-all in search results? | anthonydnelson | 9/15/11 7:43 AM | @poooook Thanks John. I thought it was added to the link itself, but am glad you pointed out it goes in the head. I'm going to assume you just set the previous/next to the immediate pages before/after. |
| Re: Questions about pagination, rel="next" and rel="prev", or view-all in search results? | Stecki | 9/15/11 8:32 AM | I *really* think it is plain wrong, making canonical and next/prev mutually exclusive. The semantic meaning of canonical ist *not* view-all. There could be scenarios like this, where there are page/all page/1 page/2 and duplicates like otherpath |
| Re: Questions about pagination, rel="next" and rel="prev", or view-all in search results? | kees-van-dieren | 9/15/11 8:44 AM | Does Google crawler also look for the rel attribute with prev / next on anchor tags? That would make sense as well. For example: at the pagination of the forum category, e.g. here: http://www.google.com/support/forum/p/Webmasters/label?lid=41234c84 |
| Re: Questions about pagination, rel="next" and rel="prev", or view-all in search results? | cswere | 9/15/11 8:45 AM | When sequential pages exist, is not a recommended best practice to not change the url? For example, on our site, one of the categories has about 26 pages of products. We do use "prev" and "next" links, but through coding the url does not change, new |
| Re: Questions about pagination, rel="next" and rel="prev", or view-all in search results? | Rob Fico | 9/15/11 10:35 AM | Does using rel=next/prev make sense for an ecommerce catalog where there are pages of products for a specific brand/category? Would it enhance the online store? |
| Re: Questions about pagination, rel="next" and rel="prev", or view-all in search results? | BrodyDodes | 9/15/11 11:25 AM | Does rel=next/prev also work as a signal for only one page of the series (page 1 in most cases?) to be included in the search index? Or would noindex tags need to be present on page 2 and on? |
| Re: Questions about pagination, rel="next" and rel="prev", or view-all in search results? | TheDonald | 9/15/11 12:56 PM | Great series of articles.

| Re: Questions about pagination, rel="next" and rel="prev", or view-all in search results? | Tiggerito2 | 9/15/11 5:03 PM | Love this new feature. I was at the SMX East session when it was announced :-) I do have one potential issue. I and maybe some other people already use the rel attribute to indicate a series of articles and the order that they relate. Not a single a |
| Re: Questions about pagination, rel="next" and rel="prev", or view-all in search results? | Gustavo | 9/15/11 5:48 PM | Hi Maile, I have a site with the standard paging mechanism for views, which exposes list of content of different ways depending on user selection and sorting, that, some of them are already indexed by Google as ?page=n. I've the possibility of implem |
| Re: Questions about pagination, rel="next" and rel="prev", or view-all in search results? | Gustavo | 9/15/11 5:51 PM | Sorry, I omitted to say that this control uses AJAX for scrolling, so the URL remains unchanged. thanks Gustavo |
| Re: Questions about pagination, rel="next" and rel="prev", or view-all in search results? | Grandmaster Flash | 9/15/11 10:26 PM | Maile Ohye Thanks! I knew something was up your sleeve when you got upset with the REI guy at SMX Advanced. Gustavo - if you're serving AJAX exclusively you'll likely run into indexing issues, may want to serve an html version of the page for users |

| Re: Questions about pagination, rel="next" and rel="prev", or view-all in search results? | iberoAmericaMedia | 9/16/11 9:58 AM | What happens to websites, where we have many articles, and at the bottom of each article, there is a prev/next link that takes the user to the previous or next ARTICLE, not a part of a series? How will these be affected by your new practice? |
| Re: Questions about pagination, rel="next" and rel="prev", or view-all in search results? | jerenel | 9/16/11 10:45 AM | Is it advisable to remove "noindex, follow" on paginated product pages and instead add rel="next" and rel="prev"? Or should I keep the "noindex, follow" and add these in addition? |
| Re: Questions about pagination, rel="next" and rel="prev", or view-all in search results? | Grandmaster Flash | 9/16/11 12:28 PM | jerenel - I can't answer as a Googler but I strongly suspect that they would say that if you introduce this new markup you should remove the noindex. |
| Re: Questions about pagination, rel="next" and rel="prev", or view-all in search results? | Deb Dulal Dey | 9/18/11 11:29 PM | Hi Maile Ohye, This is another question. Since I am using rel="next" and rel="prev", should I need to write unique meta title and description for internal pages. Or will Google manage it itself? Looking for your feedback. |
| Re: Questions about pagination, rel="next" and rel="prev", or view-all in search results? | Deb Dulal Dey | 9/18/11 11:30 PM | Hi Maile Ohye, I think people at Google have made a typo here: http://www.example.com/article?story=abc&page=1 http://www.example.com/article?story=abc&page=2 http://www.example.com/article?story=abc&page=3 http://www.example.com/article?story=a |
