        No, that is not correct. The correct syntax is;

        But you should probably do someting with numerals, else you can't go any deeper then page 2.

        The following code assumes you're currently on page 3. Make sure it's in the part of your website. Adjust as needed.

          Qon, I'm asking about putting "rel/next" to HTTP Headers, not part. But thanks for responding!

            According to a forum thread where Maile Ohye responded, Google does support rel=prev/next in the HTTP headers. See this link:

            http://productforums.google.com/forum/#!msg/webmasters/YbXqwoyooGM/0XTh-gIxS7YJ

            She gives this example:

            Link: <http: www.example.com="" article?story="abc&page=1">; rel="prev"</http:>

            Link: <http: www.example.com="" article?story="abc&page=3">; rel="next"</http:>

            ...so it looks like you need multiple "Link" headers (just as you need multiple link tags if you do it in HTML). You can even pair rel=prev/next with rel=canonical, so multiple link tags/headers are fine, as far as I know.

              Dr. Pete, thanks! Think here multiple "link" headers is the answer.
