set pagination noindex nofollow #393

From a SEO point of view it is necessary to fix the duplicate content problem 
caused by the pagination shown under the gallery preview images.

With every new page that will be indexed the original (first) page will be 
duplicated including all on-site content.

To fix that problem add the rel-attributes nofollow and noindex to the 
navigation.php and please don't forget to integrate that to further versions of 
the plugin.

Good point. 

Does this setting not prevent to index images on the follow up pages ?

As far as I can see all added pictures are written to the source code 
(Quellcode) of the original page. so from my point of view there would be no 
problem with indexing all pictures.

2nd opinion is to set pagination noindex, follow and to link to the picture 
itself so the crawler will follow the image and index it in the sense of a 
unique page but the environment where it is shown will not be indexed.

if you got any questions on that issue please contact me.

No, the images are only written in the hmtl code in the case you use the option 
: "Add hidden images". I will test this on nextgen-gallery.com with "noindex, 
follow" and check the behaviour...

hi alex,

did you checked the option yet?

for seos the implementation of a noindex, follow pagination and the clue to 
activate "add hidden images" would be the solution.

ok I updated to version 1.8.3 and your solution there works for me too. URLs 
just don't change. Great! :)

lets see how search engines index pictures now. Only problem for now lies in 
displaying additional characters e.g Pförtnerhäuschen instead of 
Pförtnerhäuschen.
