Meta Tag to index image but not a page

    I want to make a page not to index by the search engines. So I used
    <meta name="robots" content="noindex">

    Now, I want to make a page not to index by the search engines and want to index the images to be indexed in that page. What meta tag should I use?

    I do not think there is a meta tag to only index the images on a page, but not the page itself.

    Can I use this?

    <meta name="robots" content="noindex, follow">
    <meta name="robots" content="imageindex">

    Instead the Meta Robot tag, you can write this in your Robot.txt file. Just build up the logic.

    Hi,

    Thanks for the logic. But I had to do that with a different files. Please let me know will this work on same page?

    <meta name="robots" content="noindex, follow">
    <meta name="robots" content="imageindex">

    I would suggest pointing your robots.txt to your images folder, then telling it not to index your sites pages.
