Hi Ivan, do you have an update on this?
-
Thank you
I will try this and let you know what happens next.

After some research made, I have found the following code, which could be implemented in the theme's functions.php:
function rel_next_prev(){global $paged;if( get_previous_posts_link()){?>
}if( get_next_posts_link()){?>
}}
add_action('wp_head','rel_next_prev');?>Try it out, and let me know when it is live. We can then check if it works well or not.

ok. and what code I need to input ?
thank you
-
Ivan, correct that homepage is a "static page", which has a custom template in your theme directory.
That template has a loop which is going to show your latest articles on the homepage. That's part of the file you need to edit.

-
ok. and what code does this template needs if you can tell me ?
and I can say that is a static page if this helps.
thank you
-
So the question really is, what kind of page template does the homepage use in order to pull in the data. We would need to modify that in order to put in the pagination.
P.S. Sorry for the late reply.
-
ok. can you tell me what code I need to have ?
thank you
-
I am not 100% sure. For that I would need to have a look at the php code.
For sure, now it is not implemented.
-
So for the homepage I need manually edit the code? Yoast plugin cant do that ?
thank you
-
Usually Wordpress SEO by Yoast implements this automatically when we are talking about category/tag/date/etc. archive pages.
In case of the homepage, I do not know personally where to implement it - I'd need to see the code for it.
-
Thank you all
I was thinking about page 1, page 2, page 3 etc....
So, what I need to to remove this ?
I need to edit my WP theme ?
-
I believe what you are missing is the pagination markup link rel="prev"/rel="next". This is why all the paginated content is indexed, although you have a canonical link set up.

How do you mean 'is this bad' - what aspect?
It's not great that your meta description is the same on each page. It should describe the page, not be generic to the whole site.

Is good for SEO update blog post dates after update post content
Hello I am updating some posts of my Blog, adding new and fresh content and rewriting some of the existing. After doing that I am thinking to update de post publishing so that I appears on front page of the blog and user can read ir again. But I don't know if it is good for google to change the publishing date of the post that he had indexed 5 years ago. Also I don't know if google will read it again if it is old and see the new changes in order to improve it in search results

With regards to SEO is it good or bad to remove all the old events from our website?
Our website sells tickets for various events across the UK, we do have a LOT of old event pages on our website which simply say SOLD OUT. What is the best practice? Should these event pages be removed and a 301 redirect added to redirect to the home page? Or should these pages remain in tact with simply SOLD OUT on the page?

Post penguin & panda update. what would be a good seo strategies for brand new sites
Hi there. I have the luxury of launching a few sites after the penguin and panda updates, so I can start from scratch and hopefully do it right. I will get SEO companies to help me with this so i just want to ask for advices on what would be a good strategies for a brand new site. my understand of the new updates is this content and user experience is important, like how long they spend, how many pages etc social media is important. we intent to engage FB and twitter alot. in New Zealand, not too many people use google+ so we will probbaly just concentrate on the first two hopefully we will try to get people to share our website via social media, apparent that is important should only concentrate on high quality backlinks with a good diverse set of alt tags, but concentrate on branding rather than keywords. Am i correct to say that so far? if that is the principle, what would be the strategy to implement these goals? Links to any articles would also be great please. Love learning. i just want to do this right and hopefully try to future proof the sites against updates as possible. i guess quality content and links will most likely to be safe. Thank you for your help.

How to write a good resourceful SEO enabled article
We have our saas based website - most of our online customers are those who keep coming back to us and my GA is full of their footprints. I completely want to concentrate on getting hold of those who might really need our software and as of now are not able to find them . Including keywords through which people might want to find us is one of the ways. Next how do I publish that to the majority of the users to find and get traction better on that article or post? Would posting links to facebook twitter etc and getting people to find those articles there and link back and come on our main website to read it - will this help? We sell cloud based software but have various domains where our customers can make use of it. There are at least 5-10 of them. We don't have content at all on our website. In a few simple steps how can I get started with this - Content generation **Linking back the content ** Generating good foot falls from users to those cotent Notching up on google for those content page A detailed insight would prove much helpful Thanks

Home page replaced by subpage in google SERP (good or bad)
SInce Panda, We have seen our home page drop from #2 in google.ie serp to page 3 but it has been replaced in the same position @#2 by our relevent sub page for the keyword that we ranked#2 for. Is this a good or bad thing from and seo point of view and is it better to have deep pages show in serp rather than the homepage of a site and what is the best line of action from here in relation to seo. Is it best to work on subpage or home page for that keyword and should link building for that phrase be directed towards the subpage or the homepage as the subpage is obviously more relevent in googles eyes for the search term. It is clear that all areas of the site should be looked at in relation to link building and deep links etc but now that google is obviously looking at relevancy very closely should all campaigns be sectioned into relevent content managed sections and the site likewise and treated on an individual basis. Any help that you may have would be very welcome. Paul

Localised Hosting is Good for SEO - But How Local?
Hi SEOmoz community, A UK based client will soon be opening an office in the USA. We have advised them to create a new website specifically aimed at the US market, primarily because the way you talk to your potential customers is slightly different than here in the UK. However, this has also raised the question of hosting. Of course we'll be advising them to host their new US site in the States, however does it matter where? For example, if their office is in NYC, would it matter if their hosting was based in Dallas? I.e. does Google rank sites hosted in a US city / state higher for localised searches? Interested to hear your thoughts - thanks for your time! Mark
