Pagination Management<\/h2><\/span><\/div><\/div><\/div>The pagination attributes rel=”next” and rel=”prev” are used to indicate to Search Engines the relationship between URLs in a paginated series. They help consolidate indexing properties in the sequence and direct users to the most relevant URL within the series.<\/p>\n
Pageations are very common in ecommerce and blogs or forum threads. Although these elements are not considered by Google for indexing (links in the rel=prev\/next do not pass ranking) they remain equally important to other Search Engines such as Bing and Yahoo for site “crawlability” and structure definition.<\/p>\n
