      Hi

      The pagination on our website www.offonhols.com is causing duplicate content problems.  Is the best solution adding add rel=”prev” / “next# to the hrefs

      As now the pagination links at the bottom of the page are just

      http://offonhols.com/default.aspx?dp=1
      http://offonhols.com/default.aspx?dp=2 
      http://offonhols.com/default.aspx?dp=3
      etc

        Yep. You don't add it per link though, its just a tag you add within the section of the page.

        See more info at http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.com/2011/09/pagination-with-relnext-and-relprev.html

          Thanks and would I just add a canonical tag on the http://offonhols.com/default.aspx to point at www.offonhols.com to remove any duplicate content issues as it's the same page.

          I also have pages such as http://offonhols.com/deals.aspx?id=2003 which I rewrite into a search engine friendly format i.e. http://offonhols.com/deals/newdealtitle/2003

          On my canonical would I put this to http://offonhols.com/deals.aspx?id=2003 or http://offonhols.com/deals/newdealtitle/2003
