- A.
  
  Add a meta robots tag with "noindex, follow" to the paginated pages
- B.
  
  Link to paginated pages with rel="nofollow" in the link tag
- C.
  
  There are no duplicate content problems associated with pagination
- D.
  
  Display each page in a new tab/window
Correct Answer
A. Add a meta robots tag with "noindex, follow" to the paginated pages

Explanation
Adding a meta robots tag with "noindex, follow" to the paginated pages helps to avoid duplicate content problems that often occur with temporal pagination issues. This tag instructs search engines not to index the paginated pages, preventing them from being considered as duplicate content. However, it still allows search engines to follow the links on those pages, ensuring that the rest of the website is properly crawled and indexed. This approach helps to maintain the SEO value of the website while addressing the duplicate content problem.

Which of these is least likely to have difficulty ranking for its targeted terms/phrases in Google?
- A.
  
  A brand new domain that quickly buys a large number of links from a link broker
- B.
  
  An established domain moving to a newly registered domain
- C.
  
  An old domain transferred to a new registrant and repurposed
- D.
  
  A new domain that has received significant buzz and attention in the online and offline media, along with tens of thousands of natural links
Correct Answer
D. A new domain that has received significant buzz and attention in the online and offline media, along with tens of thousands of natural links

Explanation
An established domain moving to a newly registered domain is least likely to have difficulty ranking for its targeted terms/phrases in Google. This is because the established domain already has a history and authority in the eyes of search engines, which can be carried over to the new domain through proper redirection and optimization strategies. The other options, such as a brand new domain buying links, an old domain transferred to a new registrant, and a new domain with buzz and natural links, may face challenges in terms of building authority, trust, and relevance in the eyes of search engines.

Which of the following is NOT a "best practice" for creating high quality title tags?
- A.
  
  Sure the title is unique for every page
- B.
  
  Include an exhaustive list of keywords
- C.
  
  Limit the tag to 65 characters, including spaces
- D.
  
  Write compelling copy that encourages users to "click" your listing
Correct Answer
C. Limit the tag to 65 characters, including spaces

Explanation
The correct answer is "Limit the tag to 65 characters, including spaces". This is not a best practice for creating high-quality title tags because search engines typically display only the first 50-60 characters of a title tag in search results. Therefore, it is important to prioritize the most important keywords and information within the limited character count to ensure that users can easily understand the content of the page from the title tag.
