Classic Pagination Method
>Results Page 1 is displayed as the ranking URL in results Component pages get crawled; but equity is not directly passed
to canonical Component pages in series get crawled but not indexed,
therefore don’t compete with page 1

Side Note: View Alls
>Challenges View All pages must be fast (≤ 3 seconds to load) Big sites (esp. ecomm) sometimes dislike them (see above) … but users love them! (if they’re fast)

Secondary goal: even more jiggy
![Page 21: SEO Pagination - The Ultimate Guide (aka "Gettin' Jiggy Wit It")](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042814/554cf5a2b4c905ae138b4eb0/html5/thumbnails/21.jpg)

Annotations:
• Pages 2-N annotated with rel next, prev
• pages 2-N self-referencing rel canonical
• pages 2-N contain unique titles, URLs, and meta data
• (Optional) pages 2-N annotated with noindex, follow

“Fresh” Pagination Tactic

pp. 2-N
[ rel prev / next ]
![Page 23: SEO Pagination - The Ultimate Guide (aka "Gettin' Jiggy Wit It")](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042814/554cf5a2b4c905ae138b4eb0/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
Result? Jiggy’est of all
![Page 24: SEO Pagination - The Ultimate Guide (aka "Gettin' Jiggy Wit It")](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042814/554cf5a2b4c905ae138b4eb0/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
“Fresh” Pagination Tactic
>Results Page 1 is displayed as the ranking URL in results Rel prev / next consolidate signals across the series rel canonical (self-referencing only) pulls any URL dupes (Optional) noindex, follow pulls component pages from results
![Page 25: SEO Pagination - The Ultimate Guide (aka "Gettin' Jiggy Wit It")](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042814/554cf5a2b4c905ae138b4eb0/html5/thumbnails/25.jpg)
Side Note on Gettin’ Fresh
>Important to keep in mind Pages with rel next/prev can still be shown in results
But this is an extreme “edge case” Can optionally use noindex
Use of rel next/prev consolidates signals across the entire series
![Page 26: SEO Pagination - The Ultimate Guide (aka "Gettin' Jiggy Wit It")](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042814/554cf5a2b4c905ae138b4eb0/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)
Another Side Note
>Big innovations at Google Search Quality?
rel next/prev is a “…strong hint for Google to identify the series of pages and still surface a component page in results.”
Note rel=alternate hreflang=x Google uses these new tools to consolidate signals and still
make decisions about surfacing URLs in search results at search time
![Page 27: SEO Pagination - The Ultimate Guide (aka "Gettin' Jiggy Wit It")](https://reader034.fdocuments.in/reader034/viewer/2022042814/554cf5a2b4c905ae138b4eb0/html5/thumbnails/27.jpg)

Recommendations
>When you have a great View All Add rel canonical targets to the View All on all component pages
in a series Ensure the View All contains all the data found on the component
pages Ensure the View All loads in at least 3 seconds

Recommendations
>When View All isn’t an option Use the rel prev/next method to consolidate signals across the
series Advantage over Classic method which relied on noindex to keep
out of index but get equity through the crawl Use self-referencing rel canonical (Optional) Use noindex
