What is the best SEO solution for pagination?

HMK-NL

Dear all,

for example, what code do I need to put on these individual pages?

/page-1

/page-2

/page-3 (final page)

Thanks!

Hello BenVer,

It really all depends on your situation. I think most SEOs these days are going for either rel next/prev or a view all canonical page (see links below). However, I still see a lot of sites doing well with a rel canonical tag on paginated pages that points to the main/first page. Rather than saying this one is "best" I feel more comfortable proving you with some resources so you can look into the best solution for YOUR needs...
