Changes in the spelling of the canonical tag on the catalog pagination pages

Today I want to talk about the canonical tag on directory pagination

I especially want to discuss the point:

Use URLs correctly

  • Give each page a unique URL. For example, include a query parameter since URLs in the pagination sequence are treated by Google as separate pages. ? page = n
  • Do not use the first page of a page sequence as a canonical page. Instead, give each page its own canonical URL.

That is, Google says not to put the canonical tag on pagination pages 2 and beyond.

An interesting change, actually. But it does not negate one thing - cannibalization.

When you have a catalog, then, for example, in the category "TVs" you have 100,500 pagination pages. This means that the main key "TV" is responsible for 100,500 pages. Which is the relevant key?

For this, the canonical tag was previously put on the first page of the pagination, the main TV catalog. Now Google says to cancel it. This will lead to the fact that he himself will choose the relevant page, which means there will be errors - especially when you optimize the first page of the listing.

What do you think about this change? Maybe I misunderstood something? Or is Google running some kind of secret scheme again? Write your opinion in the comments!

HTTP-HTTPS redirects: domain level or each URL?

Googling for answers seems to give conflicting answers here. We have a domain that has been HTTP but some individual URLs have been HTTPS (like form pages). We are about to deploy HTTPS redirect on the server to get everything going to https://www.domain.com . Do we have to go to the effort of a big 301 redirect list of all page-level URLs without Google dropping our earned page rank?

One website, two properties (domains)

I wasn't sure how to frame that title so let me explain; Due to error on my part, I have ended up with, a www.xyz.com , version of my website, and one that's just xyz.com. Now I'm tracking my traffic differently on GSC and GA. I'm not sure how to feel about this. Is there anyone with a similar situation? Should I just go on like usual or are there things I need to start doing differently? Kindly advise. submitted by /u/Blessed_Dude_101010 [link] [comments] from Search Engine Optimization: The Latest SEO News https://ift.tt/87Z2MRA
