Yes I was thinking this might be the case... Problem being a SEO company has 
convinced the client that this is necessary and the lists already exist as 
component urls.... So I was just trying to load the next and previous to link 
tags so that it satisfied the requirement... 

I'll have to keep on searching... I have managed to convert the whole site to a 
great SEO structure though for urls in general... It's just this last results 
page!!!
