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.

Plugins and SEO
I'd like some expert guidance. I've searched for a theme that does what I want and finally found something I like, but I'm wondering what you all think I should do to increase it's searchability. The plugin has all the listings and styling. All I need to do is past the code into the wordpress site ad voila! I have a page. Using the widget lets me allow upvotes and provide map etc. But it means the content is inside the widget instead of on the page. What would you modify if you wanted to keep the theme & widget to get the best results. http://best-of-sacramento.com/dentists This is my staging site.

SEO Problems with Loading to a Subfolder?
A client has a single page app website that shows https://example.com/example when you visit https://example.com . I don't think this is a redirect; I think it's a URL rewrite. My questions: Is this setup common with single page apps? What are the SEO benefits or drawbacks of having a domain's homepage load, rewrite, or redirect to a subfolder?

Some SEO 2016 questions
Hello MOZ Community, I have some questions where the following is still working for seo in 2016: Is an exact keyword in the domain still a good start? If a domain contains the most important keyword does one still need subfolders with that keyword in the url? Do you need multiple subpages so the main url becomes stronger? Is linkbuilding still the number one factor? Thank you for your thoughts!

¿Seo issue with loading product images into an iframe?
Hi there, Recently, I modified the structure of my product page to load the images into an iframe, instead of using the img tag directly . The reason is because I wanteddd product videos(YouTube) to be shown in the same iframe. My question is: If the attributes of the images are correctly set, from a SEO perspective, Do you see any problem with that approach? I know Google bot wasn't very good crawling iframes in the past. Thanks a lot. Best regards.

SEO basics for Q&A tool
Hi everyone, our company wants to launch a Q&A forum on our website. The goal is to keep the useres interacting with our website, generate leads (of course) and... last but not least... to generate UGC for our website (and Google of course)... [We organise career events with big companys for students, professionals, give career advice etc..] From a SEO perspective, I find the following points difficult to overcome: the possible problem of "thin" content, many URL's with a question and only 1 or 2 answers will not look good for Google, especially when there are a lot of it (Panda-Update). One solution could be to noindex pages with thin content, but imagine that you have an active community, this could take ages and we got other things to do... the problem of finding ALL content: what would be the best solution to make sure that G finds all UGC, even the older content? Would it be enough to link to older questions on the page of the actual question? Let's say, this page contains links to the 5 questions before and so on... Or should there be categories of questions, where you list all of the questions ever asked??? would you/can one optimise the content? Users do not ask questions with the beloved keywords and if there would be a standard solution that the URL and the Title-Tag contains the question, there could be a lot of strange/not useful pages on our domain... I hope I could make clear what my problems are and I hope someone can give me some good advice... Thanx!!
