Maybe on some typical wp blogs paginated result can’t be a good landing page. Even more, it can cause problems, because of duplicated content. But if you have unique excerpts and your categories and tags are closed for indexation, than it completely changes this situation..
Google says that with this markup search will “Send users to the most relevant page/URL—typically the first page of the series”, so that will be the homepage. How hard in that case it would be for user to find the searched post?Anyway, I see how does it work and I still hope that this little title tweak will be some day implemented)
13 years ago in reply to: Question about homepage paged formatThx, but that’s not exactly solving the issue with indexed dublicated titles.
If you have unique excerpts to every post in your blog, than you should not close your paginated results from indexation, cause when they come out from the main page they still can work pretty well and potentially be a good landing pages (and that’s when titles problem comes).
If you don’t write unique excerpts, but just auto generate them from the first few sentences of the post – that may be a solution.13 years ago in reply to: Question about homepage paged formatwhat do you mean?
13 years ago in reply to: Question about homepage paged formatYes, u got the point of my question.
The thing is that title and its relevance to content is one of the most important internal factors. When u optimize the home page u usually try to get a max long title that would be perfectly relevant to the content of that page and raise for you traffic for your keywords. But when u use the same title for all these “navi pages” it just doesn’t work well at all, it even can sometimes lead to filters.
Using home title by default without the ability to change the way it works really does not make sense. Solution to me looks simple: just a checkbox “Don’t use Home Title for navi, but only Paged Format” will do the trick and give users a choice (same that u done with excerpts for descriptions).
Solution that you use is a nice idea, but sometimes it’s not acceptable for me for a couple of reasons.
