Hey everyone,

I'm currently working on optimizing the SEO for my e-commerce site, and I'm running into some challenges with pagination.

Should I include paginated URLs in the e-commerce sitemap, or is there a better approach to ensure that all pages get crawled and indexed without creating duplicate content issues? Also, how do I signal to search engines the relationship between the paginated pages?

What I do here at DaniWeb is include all pages in the paginated series in our sitemap file. Here is Google's official documentation on how to handle pagination.

You can use HTML meta tags for first page in a series and next page in a series, which is what we do. Google claims they no longer look at this, however, and can figure out the relationship between paginated pages through clues such as page navigation elements on the page.

Good luck!
