    Vbulletin cms, pagination and SEO

    I have vbulletin suite, and on cms i will write over 10.000 nique articles from all domains, i just wonder, how good is there pagination and cms ?

    I have over 40 categories for articles, so will be a lot of articles in each category, is enough the pagination to gain all articles some weight ?

    I thought to build a new cms, custom made but will be mroe hard to be relate dto forum , in this way users cand see more easy what's new.

    What do you think ?

    I will make link building for each category.

    The vbseo sitemap will contain a link to all your articles directly and will submit to the search engines. Changing categories won't change that.

    Yeah i know what sitemap do

    But for example i write an article about vbseo, will be on 14 page from 27 for example, the article will be indexed by search engine, but i will have let' say page rnak 4 and a good weight on whatafy,com, then that weight will be given to each categories, then will be on page, and finaly on article ... so is that pagination good ? or we cand do something like show all pages, not just 123 and last page, we could put all 27 pages on category, to have a direct link, because oherwise 14 page will have a link only from 3 pages, when could have from all 27 pages (pagination). Do you understand what i try to say ?

    If you put a link to all pages, the list of links to pages will quickly become ridiculous. Assuming you are indexed regularly, the 'home page' will have the latest articles, and the SE's will be able to follow it as it moves into deeper pages.

    Ok, will be on first page but after that will not be anymore in first page, will be just a simple link somewhere, this is the ideea.

    so just need an answer do you think the pagination is ok for seo or we can do something to be better ?

    The ideal solution would be to invert the pagination (like a thread, oldest on top, new content gets the new page) but that doesn't make logical sense for an updated website. And in cases like this, even google suggests to make the site for humans, not for bots.

    I know what you mean but seems is hard to understand what i ask, of course is not a problem, is not a vbseo problem

    Doesn't matter how is pagination inverted or not, some articles will always be on last pages, and this is the question, those articles do not gain any weight because will have a link only from pagination, and that page will have again only one link from another page.

    So this is why i asked if would be better to have in category all pages, in this way all pages will have a direct link from main category instead a link from a page, for example page 26 will have only 2-3 link from page 22 23 24, if would be all pages will have a link form amin category an all pages ..

    I will draw if needed to udnerstand better.

    Thank again for all the answers, but none of them clarify my main question

    All articles should be within 2 clicks from home, so there shouldn't be any issues. It's the 3rd click in + where it starts to not count as much. But even still, these urls are in the sitemap, so it's not a huge deal.
