If you're curious about the
rel="next" and rel=prev" for paginated content announcement
we made several months ago, we filmed a
video covering more of the basics of pagination
to help answer your questions. Paginated content includes things like an article that spans
several URLs/pages, or an e-commerce product category that spans multiple pages. With
rel="next" and rel="prev" markup, you can provide a strong hint to
Google that you would like us to treat these pages as a logical sequence, thus consolidating their
linking properties and usually sending searchers to the first page. You can check out our
presentation for more information:
This video on pagination covers the basics of rel="next" and
rel="prev" and how it could be useful for your site.
