I can't seem to find a solid answer and hoping to get some expert/experienced opinions on how to handle a website with groups of very similar pages. Looking to see if we allow them all to index, canonical, or redirect.
The website has multiple categories with a series of pages. There are 2 distinct types.
1) Blog posts - we might have 10 pages with 9 articles per page. These have pagination at the bottom to jump around pages. Thinking we would do nothing here and let Google crawl and index all 10 pages.
2) Ranked Item Lists - Let's say its the Top 10 Widgets where each widget has its own page with Next/Prev buttons to scroll through them. The Top 10 list updates frequently (as new widgets come out) so the ranking order may not be the same but the URLs will be. (example mywidgets/rank1 then mywidgets/rank2, etc. The content on rank2 page may change tomorrow with a new widget release but the url stays the same as that page is the #2 widget) The content doesn't lend itself to consolidating to 1 page so scrolling the content is appropriate. While each page talks about a different widget, should I canonical all the pages back to page1 as the reader would likely start at page 1 in their research.
Bit of a newbie in SEO and my devs aren't really sure the appropriate treatment. Any insight is appreciated!
