Ecommerce, SEO & Pagination
-
Hi
I'm trying to workout if there's something wrong with our pagination.
We include the rel="next" and "prev" on our pages.
When clicking on page 2 on a product page, the URL will show as something like -
/lockers#productBeginIndex:30&orderBy:5&pageView:list&
However, if I search site:http://www.key.co.uk/en/key/lockers in Google, it seems to find paginated pages:
http://www.key.co.uk/en/key/lockers?page=2
I have a feeling something is going wrong here, but haven't worked massively on Pagination before. Can anyone help?

Ok thank you for your input

Honestly, I think there is no really an issue with what's happening on your website. It can be a bit awkward for users to see different urls from expected ones, but most "standard" users don't look at browser's address bar anyway.
P.S. No, don't redirect ?page=2 to POST request.

Hi
Thank you for your comprehensive response.
I see the issue no. 1 which I can get fixed.
Is it an issue for the post URL and the link to be different? Should the ?page=2 redirect to the post request URL? Or can this be left as it is?
I don't work on code so I am not sure how to identify whether there is something wrong here.
Thank you

Just dug a little more.
Yes, my #3 thought seems to be correct. Basically, there is ajax or js which intercepts request and does its work.
However, I think that for rankings you actually would want ?page=x to rank, because if js is disabled in browser, then post request url might not work, you won't be able to bookmark and, if you change backend filtering, it won't exist.

Hi there.
I see some issues:
- you say you use rel=next and rel=prev. When I go to provided url and look at the source code, i see only rel=next and ALL of them are linked to ?page=2. Definitely look into that.
- when i hover over page numbers, it shows me url structure as ?page=x, not the post request, so, there might be some miscommunication in the code. At the same time, ?page=x are existent and not redirected to post request pages (I assume that's what you want to be happening). So that might be an issue as well.
- It seems to me that what's happening is if i click on pagination button, i get to ?page=x, then internally from page the post request is being sent and it changes the displayed URL. If this is true, then ?page=x will be displayed in SERPs, because POST url change is happening after page is accessed.
Hope it's not super confusing

Is a Wordpress AMP plugin sufficient, or should we upgrade our WP theme to an AMP theme?
Hello there, our site is on a Flatsome Wordpress theme (which is responsive and does not support AMP), and we are currently using the AMP for Wordpress plugin on our blog and other content rich pages. My question is - is a plugin sufficient to make our pages AMP friendly? Or should we consider switching to a theme that is AMP enabled already? Thanks!

International Domains for SEO
My company is international and we have websites for each country with Country Code Top Level Domains (ccTLD). I am in the US and I am seeing that other countries such as Costa Rica and Germany are ranking above us in search results. I thought Google automatically geo-targeted users by default and therefore I should only get .com or US results. Any idea why other countries would rank above our site?

What are the SEO implications of a CNAME?
(please ignore ridiculousness of hypothetical situation) Lets say Amazon had a food division which was at food.amazon.com. I partnered with Amazon's food division and now food.amazon.com will point to my website (food.com). Amazon adds a CNAME record so food.amazon.com resolves to food.com. If food.amazon.com has built up significant page rank / domain authority, will food.com be getting those benefits? Also, lets say food.amazon.com/rice has a lot of PR / authority -- will food.com benefit from the value of those internal pages?
