Javascript search results & Pagination for SEO
-
Hi
On this page http://www.key.co.uk/en/key/workbenches we have javascript on the paginated pages to sort the results, the URL displayed and the URL linked to are different. e.g.
The paginated pages link to for example: page2 http://www.key.co.uk/en/key/workbenches#productBeginIndex:30&orderBy:5&pageView:list&
The list is then sorted by javascript.
Then the arrows either side of pagination link to e.g. http://www.key.co.uk/en/key/workbenches?page=3 - this is where the rel/prev details are - done for SEO
But when clicking on this arrow, the URL loaded is different again - http://www.key.co.uk/en/key/workbenches#productBeginIndex:60&orderBy:5&pageView:list&
I did not set this up, but I am concerned that the URL http://www.key.co.uk/en/key/workbenches?page=3 never actually loads, but it's linked to Google can crawl it.
Is this a problem?
I am looking to implement a view all option.
Thank you

Hi Jake
Thank you for your input.
I've looked in what might be blocked & I still have a couple of .js files blocked, they're AJAX e.g.
http://www.key.co.uk/wcsstore/dojo18/dijit/nls/loading.js
http://www.key.co.uk/wcsstore/dojo18/dojo/fx/easing.js
These aren't in the robots.txt files - do you think it's worth finding & unblocking them?
Thank you

Hi Becky,
You don't need "product listing" schema.. you just simply markup each product on the page using the product schema - https://schema.org/Product...
I don't see any glaring issues with your pagination.
I do however, see the issue with displaying the products on the page continues.. Google most recently cached this page on 9/30 - http://www.key.co.uk/en/key/workbenches - and it still is only displaying a single product in the cache. You might be able to get some insight into any JS that is being blocked by looking in GSC... Using Google's mobile testing tool, it indicates there is some en-gb.js file that is being blocked, but I couldn't find it in the source.. so it must be referenced elsewhere. I'm not sure if this is the issue, but It's a decent starting point.
Best,
Jake Bohall

Hi Jake
Thanks so much for your reply, I had something in the Robots.txt file blocking css so this has been removed.
I've just checked and all products now seem to be showing.
I'll look into product schema, I had looked before but couldn't see any schema for product listing pages?
So you don't think anything is wrong with the pagination?
Thank you

Hi Becky,
Great question!
For the page - http://www.key.co.uk/en/key/workbenches - Google's cache is showing they are only able to load/see a single product on the page.
The same is happening on the cached versions of your paginated pages like http://www.key.co.uk/en/key/workbenches?page=3 ...
Google is able to find these paginated versions because you are properly implementing the rel=next and rel=prev in the source of the pages. I wouldn't worry too much at this point about the jscript loading creating the "anchor" urls with sorting, etc.. though you could consider using pushstate to force the correct canonical URL in the browser.
I would focus on making sure the content is indexable by Google so they can find the links to all of your product pages, etc. You might want to consider a pre-render service for those pages, or as you mentioned, having a page listing all products so they can easily be crawled. You should double check this by fetching the pages in GSC and seeing how they render.
On a side note, you might want to look into some product schema options for your content
Cheers,
Jake Bohall

ECommerce search results to noindex?
Hi, To avoid duplicated content and the possibility of thousands additional pages to an ecommerce website would it be a reasonable solution to have the page as a no-index, would this benefit the site? Thanks **Lantec **

Indexing of internal search results: canonicalization or noindex?
Hi Mozzers, First time poster here, enjoying the site and the tools very much. I'm doing SEO for a fairly big ecommerce brand and an issue regarding internal search results has come up. www.example.com/electronics/iphone/5s/ gives an overview of the the model-specific listings. For certain models there are also color listings, but these are not incorporated in the URL structure. Here's what Rand has to say in Inbound Marketing & SEO: Insights From The Moz Blog Search filters are used to narrow an internal search—it could be price, color, features, etc.
Intermediate & Advanced SEO | | ClassicDriver
Filters are very common on e-commerce sites that sell a wide variety of products. Search filter
URLs look a lot like search sorts, in many cases:
www.example.com/search.php?category=laptop
www.example.com/search.php?category=laptop?price=1000
The solution here is similar to the preceding one—don’t index the filters. As long as Google
has a clear path to products, indexing every variant usually causes more harm than good. I believe using a noindex tag is meant here. Let's say you want to point users to an overview of listings for black 5s iphones. The URL is an internal search filter which looks as follows: www.example.com/electronics/apple/iphone/5s?search=black Which you wish to link with the anchor text "black iphone 5s". Correct me if I'm wrong, but if you no-index the black 5s search filters, you lose the equity passed through the link. Whereas if you canonicalize /electronics/apple/iphone/5s you would still leverage the link juice and help you rank for "black iphone 5s". Doesn't it then make more sense to use canonicalization?0 -
SEO for interior page
Is it possible to be penalized on an interior page but not the whole website? Here's why I ask, I have a page: www.thesandiegocriminallawyer.com/domestic-violence.html that is not ranking well (p. 21 of Google) while the rest of the site ranks well (b/w p.1 to p.3). I checked the link profile in opensiteexplorer, ahrefs, and majesticseo but can't find any problems. I have also checked the HTML code, CSS, keyword optimization, but can't find any problems there either. Can anyone give me insight into why this might be happening? Of course, I'm working under the assumption that this page SHOULD be ranked higher for "San Diego Domestic Violence Attorney" - at least higher than page 21.

Can anybody here throw some light on what might be going wrong? [ Site runs on wordpress, hosted with wordpress as well ] thank you

Mobile SEO
Hey, In the following article, Google recommended using a 301 redirect but doesn't specify why. http://googlewebmastercentral.blogspot.co.uk/2011/02/making-websites-mobile-friendly.html I assume this is to pass over link equity to the relevant mobile/desktop variation. Can anyone confirm this? Also is there any other reason? Again assuming this would keep the correct URLs in the correct index? Anything else anyone can chip in would be great. Thanks
