My site has been at the same 69 DA for over 8 months now. My competitors have not changed either. And our link building has definitely improved. It's varied and relevant. Great news pick up (national and local) edu, a few govs and general blogs. It's varied with no bad tactics. It seems like Moz has just either A. Dropped the ball or B. Has been hindered by covid and if it is B then say that (if they haven't already as I can't find anything)

Thanks for the response Ray-pp! Would you say the same if the page had over 1,000 comments? The average is around ~200-300 comments per page

Hi Mozzers

What is your view on the following. Should you

1. Paginate comments to increase page speed? If yes, at what # of comments would you begin pagination? (with the objective being decreasing page load times)
2. Apply rel="canonical" back to the main article URL? eg: url/comment-page-1 => url
3. noindex the comment pages?
4. create a "View all" comments page?

Thanks in advance for your help!
