Pager + SEO - Is it possible?
-
Hi, I am having this issue.
I know that pager are not friends with SEO, but I want to know which is the best to do in this situations.
for example, I work in a news company, and I have a lot of news pages that are very extensive so I use a pager.
Well here I have the problem.
suppose that the url is www.mysite.com/news/id/here-comes-the-title
When you enter that URL you are viewing the first page that has this meta:
title
keywords
description
Now, the problem comes when the user goes to the page 2 of this news article.
What I shall do?
1- Change the url to www.mysite.com/news/id/here-comes-the-title-PAGE2
www.mysite.com/news/PAGE2-id/here-comes-the-title
www.mysite.com/news/id/PAGE2/here-comes-the-title
2- in the page 2,3,4,5 ... add a meta robot noindex?
In the option 2 I think that I am loosing the opportunity to index the body of my article.
Is this correct?
Thanks

On your pager anchor, I don't see the rel="next" & rel="prev" attributes:
On the link you sent above, the pager control at the bottom of the page should has the below markup, but you need to add a rel='prev' attribute to it.
_[anterior] _
Similarly the below link needs to have a rel='next' attribute added.
The title looks OK. Personally, I'd make a small adjustment and not connect the hyphen to the last word.. So I'd change this: Suena Tremendo-Pagina-6 to this: Suena Tremendo - Pagina-6

great!
Now I have that working. I will remove the noindex from that page.

From GWMT Blog - There's no need to mark page 2 to n of the series with noindex unless you're sure that you don't want those pages to appear in search results.
Regarding the page titles - the rel="next & rel="prev" do not solve the duplicate title issue, so you would need to alter the tiles on the subsequent pages. I would just make the page titles unique by adding something like this after the current title (assuming you were on page 2): ' Page 2' or ' Page 2 or 50'.

and what about the title and the meta robots?
-
I would recommend using the rel="next" and rel="prev" tags in your pager control: http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2011/09/pagination-with-relnext-and-relprev.html
In regards to the URL, I'd just put a '/{page#} after the main article URL.

Negative SEO attack, just keep disavowing?
Hello, Around 2 months ago someone started a negative SEO campaign against us. Each week in Majestic around 50-60 domains appear (all .biz or .eu) which link to our site in hidden code via the exact match keyword. Now luckly nothing has happened to our rankings, as i have been disavowing all those links as soon as they appear in Majestic. (google only shows a few of them, and Google webmaster forum told me that google only shows a "sample of links" and that we should disavow as soon as we see) So only thing for me is to monitor majestic each week and keep on disavowing. I think there are almost 250 domains to this date i have disavowed. Or should i still only disavow those that google shows? (I think not, as those are "sample links")

Global Product Tabs and SEO
I am looking at a site that has global or duplicated content in 4 tabs for things like shipping, quality etc on tabs on each product page. The content is very good for UX and helps conversions but poor for SEO. Each product page has unique and tagged photos, unique title and a unique description. Is there away to specifically tell search engines that individual parts of a page are duplicated for good reason? Linking to the content to a single page decreases conversion dramatically but having it on tabs could effect ranking and quality as it is duplicated. Can anyone offer any advice with this?

How to SEO a Website Built off Godaddy?
I have a client whose website is built off Godaddy services. I know Godaddy is not the right choice for building a website, but what's done is done. The client has already bought the Godaddy services and there's no way I can tell him to go rebuild his website before we could optimize it for SEO. I'm already facing a lot of challenges while optimizing on-page elements. When I wanted to verify the ownership for Google Analytics and Webmaster Tool via his Godaddy account. the process failed many times. it looks like Godaddy is using some kind of caching not allowing us to modify the codes. For example, I'd applied the site verification codes for Webmasters Tool 48 hours ago, and the metatag for google site verification is not yet updated in the frontend. It's quite frustrating. What would you suggest?
