@terentyev Thanks

@muhammadqasimattari essentially, AMP pages should have a separate rel="amphtml" meta tag. In your case, it should point to example.com/abc=?amp (or whatever is the URL for your AMP page). Make sure to include these rel="amphtml" tags to all your pages in hreflang group, and self canonical tag. It is ok to have self canonicals on both AMP and non-AMP pages, as long as you link them both via rel='amphtml'.
So here is an example:<link rel="amphtml" href="https...alternate/index.amp.html"> <link rel="alternate" href="https...alternate/index.mobile.html"> <link rel="alternate" hreflang="en" href="https...alternate/"> <link rel="alternate" hreflang="fr" href="https...alternate/fr/"> <link rel="alternate" hreflang="ja" href="...alternate/ja/">

Potential Pagination Issue/ Duplicate content issue
Hi All, We upgraded our framework , relaunched our site with new url structures etc and re did our site map to Google last week. However, it's now come to light that the rel=next, rel=Prev tags we had in place on many of our pages are missing. We are putting them back in now but my worry is , as they were previously missing when we submitted the , will I have duplicate content issues or will it resolve itself , as Google re-crawls the site over time ?.. Any advice would be greatly appreciated? thanks Pete

HTTP Header Canonical Tags
I want to be able to add canonical tags to http headers of individual URL's using .htacess, but I can't find any examples for how to do this. The only example I found was when specifying a file: http://www.seomoz.org/blog/how-to-advanced-relcanonical-http-headers N.B. It's not possible to add regular canonical tags to the of my pages as they're dynamically generated. I was trying to add the following to the .htaccess in order to add a canonical tag in the header of the page http://frugal-father.com/is-finance-in-the-uk-too-london-centric/, but I've checked with Live HTTP headers and the canonical line isn't showing : <files "is-finance-in-the-uk-too-london-centric="" "="">Header add Link "<http: frugal-father.com="">; rel="canonical"'</http:></files> Any ideas?

Is my Company Blog Causing issues?
We have a company blog. IE companydomain.com/blog/. Much of the content is unrelated to what we do. So why do we do it? Cover local topics that our customers may be interested in and searching for. Get them in the back door so to speak. Link bait, social sharing etc Develop a marketing culture that's engaged always learning. Customers get to know the people behind the company. Here's my Pickle If i sub domain or separate the site entirely, i won't benefit from all the juice we're generating. If i keep the status quo, since much of the content isn't directly related to my "category", logic tells me that i could be diluting my website in Googles prying eyes. Feedback PLEASE.
