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.

Domain forwarding or redirects for SEO?
Hi all! A client of mine owns several top level domains which are not in use, let's call them example.nu, example.de, example.net and so on. The current website is example.com.
Technical SEO | | JHultqvist
When checking the technical status of the unused domains I realized that all but one are forwarded (via DNS) to example.com and only one has a 301 redirect. Should I redirect all of them by means of 301 or let them stay forwarded? Very few of the domains have any other sites linking to them. Any thoughts would be really appreciated! Jesper0 -
Images on Website for SEO
Good Morning, We have a magento website with hundreds of different products that have slight size variations. The image for each of these products looks the same (the only difference between the products is some of the dimensions) .... Would you recommend using the same image for each of these products and just use a generic file name that describes the overall product or would you give each product its own image with it's specific product name as the file name? Should I use 1 image for 500 different sku's or should i rename the file the name of each individual sku and load an individual image? The end user will not know the difference since all of the images will appear identical, simply asking from an SEO perspective. Thanks

SEO url best practices
We're revamping our site architecture and making several services pages that are accessible from one overarching service page. An example would be as follows: Services Student Services Essay editing Essay revision Author Services Book editing Manuscript critique We'll also be putting breadcrumbs throughout the site for easy navigation, however, is it imperative that we build the URLs that deep? For example, could we simply have www.site.com/essay-editing rather than www.site.com/services/students/essay-editing? I prefer the simplicity of the former, but I feel the latter may be more "search robot friendly" and better for SEO. Any advice on this is much appreciated.

SEO Developers
I have a team of inexperienced SEO developers and the argument we continually have is that its a marketing role - however most of it is technical, no view state, no js, page load time, csssprite, metatags, frequency of updates to server, duplicate content via coding methodology, lioading content prior to ads, not spidering ads (IT says impossible yet google says required) etc. I looked at your referrals for developers and couldnt find any that recognized SEO as part of their skill set - do you believe tehre aer developers that specialize in this? Thanks, Michelle
