About Pagination

  • We have very active team and site with 14k posts, lately I realised that lots of our posts disappeared after 1-2 weeks since published.

    We have paginated pages with Noindex tag, and for now we think this causing issues.

    We decided to remove noindex tag, the domain.com/page/2/ and more starting to get indexed. Unfortunately there’s another issues, the paginated page indexed showing our post title on SERP instead of like this: “Page 2 of 888”.

    Back in 2014-2016 when lots of SEOs think paginated pages should be NoIndex to prevent duplicate titles and description.

    My question is should I leave it like this? Or is there any other way on how to fix duplicate titles on pagination? Thanks in advance

    I strongly recommend against indexing pagination.

    Let’s say Google has indexed Page 2 back in 2021, and back then it had posts 5 – 10. Since then, you’ve posted a lot, and now Page 2 has posts 28 – 23. So, even though Google gave me Page 2 because it had the content I’m looking for back when it was indexed, today it no longer does.

    And, as someone who often lands on pages like that from search results, it infuriates me, and I exit the site immediately and go somewhere else.
