Comment posted to Yoast WordPress SEO Plugin Review by WordPress SEO Theme Author.
On your paginated comments and canonical URLs point, yes you are correct after a user comments you are redirected to a URL like:
https://www.google-adsense-templates.co.uk/yoast-wordpress-seo-plugin-review.html/comment-page-1#comment-28101 (link to my last comment and what I was redirected to).
But the canonical link is always https://www.google-adsense-templates.co.uk/yoast-wordpress-seo-plugin-review.html for the paginated comment pages (doesn’t matter how you got there), so even if a user decides to link to that particular URL the canonical features of WordPress core results in search engines redirecting the link juice (AKA it doesn’t matter how they link to the page, it counts as a link to the non paginated URL).
That’s how it works for default WordPress with your average setup that doesn’t modify canonical URLs.
Because I use a modified version of the SEO Super Comments plugin my sites have loads of these types of links, see this page for examples https://www.google-adsense-templates.co.uk/yoast-wordpress-seo-plugin-review.html/comment-page-1?cid=28101 that’s generated through the SEO Super Comments plugin.
The above page has 7 links with the format you don’t like, but if you check the pages indexed on this site you’ll find they won’t be indexed thanks to the WordPress default canonical URL settings. Although Talian modifies the canonical URLs it’s only modified (removed) on the new pages created by the SEO Super Comments plugin (had to turn canonical URLs off for those pages as it linked back to the original page the comment is from). On the rest of the site you have the default WordPress canonical URLs.
Look at this site: search from Google
https://www.google.com/search?q=site%3Ahttp%3A%2F%2Fwww.google-adsense-templates.co.uk%2Fwordpress-theme-blix-with-adsense-and-seo-optimisation.html&hl=en&num=100&lr=&ft=i&cr=&safe=off
Note that the main page (the Blix theme sales/support page) is indexed once (as it should be) and the remaining 47 indexed pages are related to the SEO Super Comments plugin**
** I do have a duplicate content issue with that plugin I’ve not fixed yet and it’s because I had to turn canonical URLs off on those page types (these are extra pages generated from the comments, so I’m not concerned about it). I’ve paginate the links from those comment like posts so users can jump directly to the comment and link to them if they choose (the links don’t work correctly otherwise). This has resulted in multiple URLs to the same content (some with yoast-wordpress-seo-plugin-review.html/comment-page-1?cid=28101 and some without yoast-wordpress-seo-plugin-review.html/?cid=28101 the paged format) and they can all be indexed (on my list of things to fix, though not an issue with core WordPress).
I also generate loads of paginated URLs via my sitemap with comments https://www.google-adsense-templates.co.uk/google-adsense-sitemap and it doesn’t cause a problem.
So paginated comments doesn’t cause any indexing problems with the current version of WordPress.

Talian 05 WordPress SEO Theme with AdSense/Clickbank Ads WordPress Search Engine Optimization and robots.txt File When using a robots.txt file the first question to ask is what are you trying to achieve?
Lets go through the example robots.txt file you found:
User-agent: *
Disallow: /cgi-bin
Disallow: /wp-admin
Disallow: /wp-includes

Anything starting disallow means you don’t want it spidered. Are you having …
Talian 05 WordPress SEO Theme with AdSense/Clickbank Ads Robots Meta WordPress Plugin I’m familiar with the Robots Meta WordPress Plugin, it uses noindex and nofollow, so not a plugin I’d recommend.
I’m close to finishing a true WordPress SEO Plugin, you can read about it at Stallion WordPress SEO Plugin. I believe it does everything you mentioned in your first comment.
With a bit of luck will have it released in a week or two.
BTW you might be mixing up rel=”nofollow” and nofollow added to a robots meta tag. …

Talian 05 WordPress SEO Theme with AdSense/Clickbank Ads Noindex Always Wastes Link Benefit Doesn’t matter how you use noindex it wastes link benefit.
Here’s an extreme for you, you noindex but follow links from your home page. All those hard earned backlinks do ZERO SEO work on your home page, does that sound like a good SEO tip?

Talian 05 WordPress SEO Theme with AdSense/Clickbank Ads Google Panda Update and Noindex, Nofollow Your first assumption is what you’ve read online in forums etc… about the Google Panda update is verified/true. Without that verification that takes time to test it’s guess work.
