Fix paginated archives that bleed crawl budget

Fix paginated archives that bleed crawl budget
Blog client had 60 pages of /blog/page/2/ ... /page/47/, all thin, all indexed. The cleanup:
— Let page 2+ stay crawlable but self-canonical (NOT canonical to page 1 — that's the old broken advice)
— Make sure each paginated page links to the next AND prev so the bot can walk deep
— Add a 'view all' or solid category hub so deep posts aren't only reachable via page 40
— Drop rel=next/prev if you still have it — Google ignores it now, no harm but no help
— Confirm deep posts get found: crawl and check none are orphaned past page 10
Deep archive posts started getting crawled monthly instead of never.
Don't noindex paginated pages — you'll orphan everything that only links from them.
