LogoutIt is important that search engine bots are able to understand the paginated pages that are related to particular keywords. This way, they are able to tell that those pages are related. A great tool here is [pi Datametrics
After getting data on how your site currently implements pagination, you are now ready to fix the identified issues.
Before we look at how to properly implement pagination on your site, we need to pause and consider the effects of Google’s announcements.
If Google still supported rel = “prev/next”, the issues identified in the pagination and SEO section could be easily resolved using noindex, meta tags, canonical tags, and correct implementation of on-page SEO.
One of the effects of Google discontinuing the use of rel = “next/prev” is the fact that now each paginated page is considered a stand-alone page by Google. This major search engine is able to identify related pages, even when directives like noindex and the canonical tag are not used.
If you had already used pagination on your site, there is no need to remove it. Sites like e-commerce and news sites have no option but to keep using pagination.
