Paginated Pages Page Depth

[AndyRSB]

Hi Everyone,

I was wondering how Google counts the page depth on paginated pages.

DeepCrawl is showing our primary pages as being 6+ levels deep, but without the blog or with an infinite scroll on the /blog/ page, I believe it would be only 2 or 3 levels deep.

• Using Moz's blog as an example, is https://moz.com/blog?page=2 treated to be on the same level in terms of page depth as https://moz.com/blog?

• If so is it the https://site.comcom/blog" /> and https://site.com/blog[?page=3](https://site.com/blog?page=3)" /> code that helps Google recognize this?

• Or does Google treat the page depth the same way that DeepCrawl is showing it with the blog posts on page 2 being +1 in page depth compared to the ones on page 1, for example?

Thanks,

Andy
