Hi, I have a site which sells a digital download. The homepage is indexed, but the download page thankfully is not, i think. I have two questions I require clarification on. 1 ) How do I check to see if my download page has been indexed or not ? 2 ) What is the no follow tag and where in the html does it go, my code reads as of now, from the top - <!DOCTYPE HTML PUBLIC "-//W3C//DTD HTML 4.01 Transitional//EN" "http://www.w3.org/TR/html4/loose.dtd"> <html> <head> <meta name="robots" content="noindex,nofollow"> <title></title> <meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1"> <style type="text/css"> <!-- body { Is this correct, so my download page will not be indexed or linked to ? Many Thanks in advance, Brian
According to what you showed, you already have a no index/nofollow meta tag in the page head, so the page shouldn't be indexed. To make sure, you can use the site: command. To do this, do a Google or Yahoo search with the following: site:www.yourdomain.com where "yourdomain" is the domain of your site. If you do this correctly, you will get a list of all the indexed pages on the site.
Many Thanks, that's what I wanted clarification on, to see if it was indeed in the right place. Thanks for your help.
