Pagination, what’s it?
- HTML commands (“rel = prev” and “rel = next”) on content that overlaps over into different pages, but should be considered as one.
- For example, your blog (mysite.com/blog) might have multiple pages (mysite.com/blog/2) as you create more content.
- Pagination tags should be used on the “Next page” and “Previous page” links to inform search engines of this.
- This also applies to eCommerce websites with multiple product pages and long guides that are broken down into multiple pages.
Why does pagination matter?
- These tags can help avoid duplicate content penalties and very low indexation rates.
