How to Control Search Engine Robots - Did you know...
(Page 4 of 4 )
Did you know that Google has its own meta tag?
It looks like this: meta name="googlebot" content="noindex,nofollow,noarchive" This tells the Google robot crawler not to index the page, not to follow any of the links, and not to keep from storing cached versions of your web site. You will want this done if you update the content on your site frequently. This prevents the web user from seeing outdated content that isn't refreshed because of storage in the cache.
You can use the meta tag to specifically talk to Google's robots to avoid complications or if you are optimizing your site for Google's search engine. This concludes this month's article.
Until the next article have a great day!
