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.
Can you check it here http://www.espectador.com/suenatremendo-pagina-6

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.

SEO Ultimate’s and Yoast together
We are using SEO Ultimate’s and Yoast together on a Wordpress website, does anyone have negative experience by using this to plugins together? The main result to use this, is because we could remove the /product/ from the slug. We want clean URL’s and not URL’s that have: website.com/product/PRO1 or website.com/product-catagory/CAT2 (standard Wordpress) But we want: website.com/PRO1 or website.com/CAT2 In Yoast is possible to remove the URL /category/, but not the /product/. With SEO Ultimate’s it is possible. So we use them both. SEO Ultimate’s for the removal of the URL, and Yoast for it’s great functions: Sitemap, no index /page2/, no index media etc. etc. But Yoast gives the following note: ‘’WordPress SEO (Yoast) is known to cause conflicts with SEO Ultimate. Please deactivate WordPress SEO if you wish to continue using SEO Ultimate.’’ I was wondering what this could mean for overal SEO performance. And maybe there is a way to remove the URL’s by using other methods > and remove the SEO Ultimate’s plugin.

Will this affect the local SEO listings in Google?
So, I'm trying to list the same exact address across all local listings for a client. How "exact" do they all need to match in order for them to be optimized for the 7-pack listings? Here is an example of what I'm dealing with... 999 Cherry Ln #1 Dallas, TX 75238 - Address on Google Plus page 999 Cherry Ln Ste 1, Dallas, TX 75238 - Address on every other business listing Is this close enough or is this inconsistency really hurting this client?

URL content format - Any impact on SEO
I understand that there is a suggested maximum length for a URL so as not to be penalized by search engines. I'm wondering if I should if should optimize our ecommerce categories to be descriptive or use abbreviations to help keep the URL length to a minimum? Our products are segmented into many categories, so many products URL's are pretty long if we go the descriptive route. I've also heard that removing the category component entirely from a product URL can also be considered. I'm fairly new to all this SEO stuff, so I'm hoping the community can share their knowledge on the impact of these options. Cheers, Steve

Keywords and content and seo advice please
Hi i am building a site at the moment which i am working on. please ignore the state of the site as we are just playing with designs at the moment but please do take notice of the top part. The site is a travel magazine but i am a bit concerned. The keywords that we will be looking at to drive travel will be as follows, cheap flights gatwick, holiday magazine and travel magazine. Now i do not want the site to look untidy with loads of content describing the site but at the same time i want google to know what the site is and for people to pick the site up with the search terms that we are aiming for. the site is www.cheapflightsgatwick.com Can anyone please show me some examples of how i should structure the site to attract the keywords and give me some advice. It seems hard when you are designing a magazine site where the content changes all the time to try and attract the search engines with your keywords. any advice would be great
