I haven't used on-page METAs before. If I use <meta name="robots" content="index,nofollow"> does this not mean that robots SHOULD index the page but not follow the links on the page. Does this only include external links or would it tell the robot to not follow internal links also. I appreciate someone clearing this up. TY
Hi, What this INDEX,NOFOLLOW means is that : - the page should be indexed; - the search engines should ignore the links in the page. It applies to internal and external links. It is clear that these links will be indexed if they are found in other pages (without NOFOLLOW). Jean-Luc
If i used this tag on all pages of site and submitted sitemap, how might this distribute ranking for that site? i'm gonna go ahead and guess that won't work very well. it's an affiliate site i'm working on and am working with affiliate feed here trying to get away with robots not following links. any ideas?
nofallow links in your site dont effect your PR.actually sites from which u have backlinks is important,u can give link back to revelant sites
If you wish the search engine robots to follow some links on your page, but not others, you can use a nofollow tag in the link tags: <a href="http://www.affilitatesite.com/page.html" rel="nofollow">Visit The Affiliate</a>
will that work with about 350 individual feeds? it's carp is what i'm using to pull the feeds. i've looked everywhere for a solution, but nothing is working so far. i'm planning on using a different setup shortly, so i may just wait. google doesn't seem to like the URLs is my guess. they get indexed, then deindexed, until i load some more up and then google indexes them all again and then deindexes again. fortunately, Yahoo and MSN are still indexing all of the pages.
