Paginated List Links

[Andrew-SEO]

In a rel=prev rel=next set of paginated pages. Is there a benefit to have prev and next links in addition to the numbered links on the page. Or will the numbered links suffice?

Any help would be most welcome.

Just my opinion, but I say yes. KISS Keep It Simple Smith If I can avoid my visitor from asking "How Do I.." then I will keep them on my page longer. I believe Prev & Next links do that.

Andrew,

If you are asking your question in terms of SEO (vs usability) keep in mind that when there are several links on a page to the same external resource, only the first one of those links carries any SEO weight. Also, if a page contains important info for the visitor, it should be linked to from numerous pages on your site.
