I have been using the Digg Style Pagination plugin on several of my other blogs. Just two days ago I have finally installed it on this blog. If you scroll to the bottom of the home page (or any of the archive pages) you will notice that default WordPress pagination was replaced with the new (and I might say really slick looking) pagination:
In the past I was convinced that Digg Style pagination can help me in my SEO efforts. It does add extra
Of course if you follow advise of SEO experts and “nofollow” the duplicate content, the use of Digg Style Pagination Plugin has absolutely no effect on your blog besides being a good looking widget and letting your readers know your blog has been around for a while. It looks that with three posts per page, this plugin shows 54 pages- starting from home page.
This plugin also creates pagination for category and tag pages. It is also worth mentioning that plugin is compatible with the version 2.6 of WordPress.
I had bad experience with this plugin since it dilutes the link power
True. But it can be prevented by placing “nofollow” on all in archive pages since they are mostly dupes. Thanks for stopping by SEO.
We both know that if we have every plugin spend our precious time that much we will not get everything done, time is a very crucial thing.
I like my plugins ready to go, also i'm still testing about the nofollow effects on Google it not as “no followed” as many people think
Tom, of course one would waste their time installing every possible plugin on their blog. There are some plugins I think are necessary and some not. I did not say this plugin is necessary. However, I think if some one else would have the similar objection that it dilutes the power of links, that can be prevented by nofollowing some navigational link on your blog. Just as you have them nofollowed on your blog (links with comments count).
I am sure you have already seen this post but if you have not, Andy Beard has an outstanding explanation on the matter:

He actually wrote a plugin for those who agree with his approach: http://andybeard.eu/wordpress-plugins/nofollow-…
Although I am not using Andy's plugin on this blog yet. Other blogs where I used it, are showing great results.
Again I was saying that Pagination plugin can improve the usability of the blog not the SEO.
Tom, please stop spamming my blogs. As SEO expert you should know better. This is not the only blog I am authoring, just so you know.
me also had installed it
Isn’t there some stuff you can do with Apache to divert your dupe pages in PHP?
