OXID has used proper next and prev links since flow... and even sets noindex.. In my opinion, the latter is not good though and should, on the contrary, be changed back again. Not indexing follow-up pages hides the biggest part of the products and leads to dead links. (Also see a German article about this: https://ahrefs.com/blog/de/rel-prev-next-paginierung/) Some SEO agencies seem to have misunderstood the original Google blog post. Google just said that they will technically not use these links anymore. They did not say that the subpages are harmful. At the same time, it is beneficial to find a healthy balance between the number of products in a category and the number of categories. Neither is a complex, deep or wide category tree nice to handle for customers (and SEO), nor is it good to leave it to the customer to find the product they desire on page 1563 or after scrolling for an hour... (Which is basically what Google also mentioned in their blog post and what might have caused the confusion.) |
