      Hello,

      while I was checking this site;

      http://www.disfracessimon.com/disfraces-adultos-16.html

      I found that the pagination is working this way

      http://www.disfracessimon.com/disfraces-adultos-16.html#/page-2
      http://www.disfracessimon.com/disfraces-adultos-16.html#/page-3

      and content is being loaded using AJAX. So, google is not getting the paginated results. Is this a big issue or there is no problem?
      Should I create a link for See All Products or there is not a big issue?

      Thank you!

        Hi,

        In the specific example you give it's doesn't really matter - as all the pages of the pagination have a canonical pointing to the homepage.

        On top of that - the site indicates on every page that the alternate url for lang=es is the homepage as well.

        If this is your site, I would correct this - make the canonical self referencing & do the same for the alternate url (or just drop the alternate url if the site is only available in Spanish)

        To answer your question the link pointing to the next page is a plain html link: 2 so can be indexed by Google without major issues.

        On endless scrolling & pagination with Ajax in general - there is an interesting article on Google Webmaster Central: http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.be/2014/02/infinite-scroll-search-friendly.html

        rgds,

        Dirk

          Thank you so much!

          I noticed the problem with the canonical when I was auditing the site. I think is this is a major issue. Google seems to be omiting that, because it is still showing inner pages in its results. We are not sure about how this can be affecting the entire site rankings, but I think it is not good at all.

          We have addressed that and we hope the site improves its rankings soon.

          Thank you again for your advices!
