Where it Can Go Wrong
Not knowing your 301s from 302s Redirecting all pages in one go to a single URL
![Page 23: Technical SEO Updated](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042714/554bd6f7b4c9058f6c8b51b8/html5/thumbnails/23.jpg)
When You Should Use a 301
Moving sites Expired content Multiple versions of the home page Pro tip: if homepage serves a unique purpose (shown to users who are logged in or have cookies dropped), rel=canonical a better option
![Page 24: Technical SEO Updated](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042714/554bd6f7b4c9058f6c8b51b8/html5/thumbnails/24.jpg)
When to Use rel=canonical
Where 301s may not be possible Multiple ways of navigating to a page (ecommerce sites)o www.phoneshop.com/smartphone/3Go www.phoneshop.com/3G/smartphone
When dynamic URLs are generated on the flyo session IDso tracking code: www.example.com/widgets/red?source=footer-nav

When NOT to Use rel=canonical
On new website On pagination (or at least with caution) Across your entire site to one page
![Page 26: Technical SEO Updated](https://reader033.fdocuments.net/reader033/viewer/2022042714/554bd6f7b4c9058f6c8b51b8/html5/thumbnails/26.jpg)

Faceted Navigation
Pagination/sorting can cause duplicate content – use Ajax/JavaScript to avoid Selective robots.txt
User-agent: GooglebotDisallow: /*crawl=no
No matter of the route, only one indexable URL per page How to handle faceted navigation http://mz.cm/SUHJN8

Google Prev/Next Tag Declare in <head> section of the page
The first page only contains rel=”next” and no rel=”prev” markup
Pages two to the second-to-last page should be doubly-linked with both rel=”next” and rel=”prev”
The last page only contains markup for rel=”prev”, not rel=”next”
Use absolute URLs
The chain can’t be broken
Each page can be in only one pagination chain
Use of prev/next consolidates signals across entire series
Add rel=canonical to View All page on all pages in the series

Who Gets Pandalized?
Sites with too many pages relative to the size of their brand footprint A high % of duplicate content (might apply to a page, a site or both) A low amount of original content on a page or site A high % (or number) of pages with a low amount of original content A high amount of inappropriate (they don’t match the search queries a page does well for) adverts, especially high on the page Page content (and page title tag) not matching the search queries a page does well for High bounce rate on page or site Low visit times on page or site Low % of users returning to a site Low CTR % from Google’s results (page/site) High % of boilerplate content (the same on every page) Low or no quality inbound links to a page or site

How to Recover After Panda? Take a deep breath Check the timeline in Google Analytics Double check for IT problems Decide which URLs are canonical and create strong signals (rel canonical, robot exclusion, internal link profile, XML sitemaps) Decide which URLs are your most valuable and ensure they are indexed and well optimized Add quality content to them – text, videos, photos, reviews/ratings Remove any extraneous, overhead, duplicate, low value and unnecessary URLs from the index Build internal links to canonical, high-value URLs from authority pages (strong mozRank, unique referring domains, total links) Build high-quality external links via social media efforts Use content-based link building
