What is Pagination in SEO

[arindamdutta16]

 Pagination is a way of organizing or numbering a lot of data within a webpage to make it more manageable and user friendly. The purpose of doing this is to get the search engines to crawl these pages and to distribute page rank from highly crawled pages of your site to these deeper pages of your site.

Hi,

Many eCoomerce webssites have large number of products, so there are divide them in to multiple pages, simple it's call pagination.

In those types of websites there are following two issue have

1. Duplicate content issues
2. Crawling issues

Thanks

Pagination, the practice of segmenting links to content on multiple pages, affects two critical elements of search engine accessibility.

Crawl Depth: Best practices demand that the search engine spiders reach content-rich pages in as few "clicks" as possible (turns out, users like this, too). This also impacts calculations like Google's PageRank (or Bing's StaticRank), which determine the raw popularity of a URL and are an element of the overall algorithmic ranking system.
Duplicate Content: Search engines take duplication very seriously and attempt to show only a single URL that contains any given piece of content. When pagination is implemented improperly, it can cause duplicate content problems, both for individual articles and the landing pages that allow browsing access to them.

Many websites  (mostly e-commerce) are promoting such a variety of products that they´re ultimately forced to divide them into multiple pages. This process is called pagination.

When there is a long page in a website, the page is divided into segments or parts forming a page so that the visitor can navigate each page. I hope you have seen the navigation bar at the footer of the page in several websites like this.

Pagination in SEO is a process of dividing web content and displaying it on separate pages. Pagination in internet is used for displaying a limited number of results on search engine result pages.

Thank you very much for this good and easy explanation! I understand, that it is not the same as backlinks! Also, maybe you will dive more information about it!
