SEO for a small site
Pagination is for long crawls of many true items. A dozen products should be one catalog, not a doorway of page numbers.
Architecture should match size. Pillar hubs on this blog exist because we have many unique posts. Your shop probably does not need page 2. Thin content is not a page. Duplicate titles on page 2 are a follow-on mess. Someone whose template paginates three cards. If you can show the items, show the items. Stop.
Do not paginate a small Bizzit site. Put the real products or posts on one useful page or a few true collections. Do not create page/2 clones. Do not doorway. Free is you.bizzit.io with 50 Cipher turns and no daily cap. Pro is $12 a month. Rankings are not a SKU.
Who this is for
Someone whose template paginates three cards. If that is not you, a different Bizzit guide will fit better, do not force this URL.
The actual answer
Architecture should match size. Pillar hubs on this blog exist because we have many unique posts. Your shop probably does not need page 2. Thin content is not a page. Duplicate titles on page 2 are a follow-on mess. If you can show the items, show the items. Stop. The short version is still the one in the box at the top of this page. The rest of the article exists so you do not have to guess the limits.
Do this in order
Count items. If they fit, one page. Rebuild template pagination Cipher borrowed.
- Count SKUs or posts
- Fit them on real pages
- Delete page/2 if it is thin
- Keep collection pages as true groups only
- Do not paginate cities
What not to do
Do not infinite-scroll junk as a trick. Do not noindex page 1 and index page 2. Do not 301 page 2 to home by reflex if you meant to delete it, prefer a real 404 after links are gone. That is the usual way a useful page turns into a doorway, a fake comparison, or a brief Cipher cannot honor.
How this shows up on Bizzit
Our blog uses clusters instead of a giant page/2 dump of every post as the only IA.
Limits
Do not infinite-scroll junk as a trick. Do not noindex page 1 and index page 2. Do not 301 page 2 to home by reflex if you meant to delete it, prefer a real 404 after links are gone.
Limits and caveats
Do not infinite-scroll junk as a trick. Do not noindex page 1 and index page 2. Do not 301 page 2 to home by reflex if you meant to delete it, prefer a real 404 after links are gone.
If a sentence would require a competitor SKU we have not verified, or a statistic we did not measure, it does not belong here.
What to do after you read this
If this page answered the query, open Create with the nouns from your own business, not a slogan. If it did not, you are probably in the wrong cluster: go back to the blog hub or SEO for a small site. Do not spin a second URL for a synonym. One intent per page is the whole point of this library.
Tools that actually do this job
These are public pages. Use them when the job is this job. They are not a second product you have to buy.
Questions people actually ask
View all?
A view-all that is a 200 useful page can be enough. Do not duplicate it with paginated thin copies.
Rel=next?
Empty cell as a religion. Size first. Specs exist; a bakery still may not need them.
Search Console paginated reports?
Your property. Fix by deleting thin URLs.
Pro?
Unlimited Cipher to flatten a paginated template. Still not a ranking buy.
