Ok got the issue. You need to try this rel prev and next for the pagination series –
_Ref: http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.co.uk/2011/09/pagination-with-relnext-and-relprev.html
However, it also makes sense to include the page number in the [pagination series mate data._
_Page 1 - http://www.in2town.co.uk/benidorm/benidorm-news/Page-2
Title: Benidorm News | Page 2
Meta Description: Our Lifestyle Magazine and Celebrity Gossip magazine is your no1 online Lifestyle Magazine for Fashion and Beauty, Holiday Reviews, Ladies Underwear and Holiday News .. Page 2And for these two pages -
http://www.in2town.co.uk/benidorm/benidorm-news
http://www.in2town.co.uk/benidorm/benidorm-news/Page-1Set this URL as canonical - http://www.in2town.co.uk/benidorm/benidorm-news
Ref: http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.co.uk/2009/02/specify-your-canonical.html_

Pagination can be a great thing for SEO because it helps Google identify the best page for certain results and it can offer a better user experience. I'm not sure what you mean by duplicate pagination results or where you are getting that data from, however, the goal of true pagination isn't having four pages, it's telling Google that THIS one of the four is the main page and the other three have similar content.
While I'm not sure if I am explaining it well, I think this is a great article to cover pagination: http://www.seomoz.org/blog/pagination-best-practices-for-seo-user-experience as is this one: http://www.seomoz.org/ugc/mitigating-mixed-signals-effectively-consolidating-paginated-urls

Using Web Applications for SEO
I am in the sign/banner business, for years I have had a flash based web application that I developed which allows customers to design their own signs/banners online. With the demise of flash i am prompted to begin developing an HTML5 based application to take it's place. Developing this software is a rather expensive endeavor so many local sign shops, which don't sell on the web, don't bother to develop such an application, but what if i gave it to them? I assume a fair amount would find great value in such an application thereby allowing their clients to communicate a design idea without having to drive to the store front. The application would actually run embedded on my site thus earning me a link back to my site. Question is this: Is this a bad idea. If dozens of sign shops are running my application embedded on their sites will the help or hurt me? Thanks.

The site is: https://www.cnc-ltd.co.uk Any help of hints would be great thanks in advance Steve

Minor SEO for Yahoo and Bing
Over the past year, we have completely optimized one of the sites we manage for Google (removed bad links, reduced keyword count, etc) and we are doing great for Google organic traffic. However, in the process we have seen a steady decline in Yahoo organic traffic and Bing organic traffic. Enough so that I am looking for suggestions for quick fixes that aren't going to interfere with the Google optimizations that we made. Do you have any suggestions? Thanks for your help!

seo moz crawl diagnosis
Hi seomozzers, We are creating a brand new website for a client and I would like to run an seo moz crawl to fix what has been done wrong. So my question is it ok to run an SEO moz crawl with a dev URL? Are final URLs and dev URLs will give me the same results or not? Basically, Should I wait for getting the final URL or is it ok to run a crawl under a dev URL such as www.dev2.example.com or http://183.2564.2864? Thank you 🙂
