Hi,

there is a problem with Newsmag and the Plugin WordPress Seo from Yoast.

If the front page is static via the page builder, the sites /2/, /3/, etc. will be indexed from google, although I checked the noindex button within the plugin.

Somebody hat the same question last year, but Yoast says the person misused the static page option. >> https://github.com/Yoast/wordpress-seo/issues/908

Do you have any solution for me to noindex the continuation pages?

Thank you!

Normally you would not have page 2.3,4 from home page anymore unless doing “blog post” style listings (e.g., doing a blog vs doing a magazine), since normally you would want people to go to the category indexes for more content where those pages are optimized for SEO and lead people to the news by topic and not just by date, which duplicates the date indexes. Just my thought anyway.

Ideally, at bottom of each module should be option to “read more” to go to a “category” index by I.D. (can be done with text block also, which is what we’ll be doing).

Sorry if that was random to the solution you were seeking 🙂

Hi Chris,

Is this blog view bad for SEO or something? I don’t let google index the categorys anyway, only some optimized tags.

Are there benefits for seo to change the front page? I am willing to learn something, please go ahead. 😉

Btw…even in the Newsmag demo you see the pagination on front page. http://demo.tagdiv.com/newsmag/

Thanks!

Hi,

Here is a guide and recommendations for pagination which can help you with this: http://moz.com/ugc/seo-guide-to-google-webmaster-recommendations-for-pagination

According to this article Yoast plugin already handles this: http://screencast.com/t/wUIkajHyl1nghttps://yoast.com/rel-next-prev-paginated-archives/ and this is the solution from google: http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.ro/2011/09/pagination-with-relnext-and-relprev.html

The theme uses this pagination function: http://screencast.com/t/JfclCbIZpUob which is different from WordPress’s so you could try to change it then use Yoast and see if the solution to not index pagination links works, try this: https://forum.tagdiv.com/topic/how-just-make-next-and-prev-next-on-pagination/

Thanks
