Wouldn't pagination work better this way?

[Jakez]

Everyone lists their pages like this:

1, 2, 3, 4, 5, etc..

Shouldn't it be going the opposite way? 100 being how many total pages you have:

100, 99, 98, 97, etc..

Of course the main page would just be your index page and the next page would be page-99.html or whatever.

This way all your pages will always have the same content and text on them and will in theory build their strength with the SE's?

Doing it 1, 2, 3 you are constantly pushing different content on/off from every page and changing the keyword density and whatnot.

Maybe there's something I'm missing?

great point, youre absolutely right about the same content on the pages

Search engines love pages that update and change.

you're right. But surfers want to see the freshest stuff first

But I'm sure they also like pages that are consistent and stay on the same topic so to speak. Question is which is better? I think they like pages that always have the same content - but - are updated regularly. Not pages that are updated and will be completely different in a week or something.

No you misunderstood something, the freshest content is still shown on the main page, it's just that the main page isn't page 1 anymore, page 1 is your LAST page (the first page you really did have), and your main (latest) page is whatever X number of pages you have.

So if you have 100 pages of content the bottom would look like:

100(index.php), 99(page99.htm), 98(page98.htm), ..

add more content:

101(index.php), 100(page100.htm, 99(page99.htm), 98(page98.htm), ..

he say it should be that way, page1 on last position [oldest add content], and page100 on first [page whit fresh content]

most likely. I always think of shit like this when I haven't slept since yesterday.

By that reasoning, the page 100 should be at the end and the content should be sorted by oldest first.

If you put page 100, 99, 98, etc it would be like reading a book backwards.

Yeah I guess it looks a little weird because it's not the normal way it's presented. But porn is meant to be read back (last post) to front (first post).

I don't think it would confuse the visitor too much, on the main page they are looking at the 100th page of content that the site has created in it's existence, and page 1 of course the 1st page of content that was posted when the site first went online.

why would it build strength in seo?

sure the content on the list pages change, but the content on the pages those things link to does not.
So if you have 100 pages of "lists of articles" and each page lists 10 articles (or gals whatever), then you have 100 changing pages and 1000 static pages.

It's good to refresh your listings pages in the SEs, shows your site is dynamic.

And as far as backlinks go, noone ever links to a list, always the end article/gal...
