I am trying to perform some SEO on a pagination control I have on a website.

Following the Google guidelines, I would like to add link rel=next/prev i.e. <link href="/search/results?page=2" rel="next" /> to the <head> of my search results page.

Unfortunatley, due to a design decision / limitation of MVC3 with rendering sections and defining their content within Partials, I’m unable to do this.

So my question is – can I replicate the aforementioned functionality by adding a “Link” HTTP header, i.e. Link: <http://www.example.com/search/results?page=2>; rel="next" to the response and therefore not have to add the <link> tags in the <head>?

    @estrik: We support rel=”next” and rel=”prev” in the HTTP header. For example, for page=2 of an article, you could respond with the HTTP header:

    Link: http://www.example.com/article?story=abc&page=1; rel="prev"

    Link: http://www.example.com/article?story=abc&page=3; rel="next"
