Is this the absolute ONLY correct way to indicate a paginated series of pages to search engines?
<head>
<link href="www.example.co.uk/news/?page=8" rel="prev">
<link href="www.example.co.uk/news/?page=10" rel="next">
</head>
Or can rel="prev"
and rel="next"
as attributes be added to other elements, for instance a
in the body
? Example:
<a href="www.example.co.uk/news/?page=8" rel="prev">Previous</a>
<a href="www.example.co.uk/news/?page=10" rel="next">Next</a>
I have read Google's documentation on implementing rel="prev/next"
, but it doesn't really specifically say that in the <head>
on a <link>
is the absolute only way to correctly implement, definitively.
