No Index, No Follow Tag

NO INDEX, NO FOLLOW

To prevent Google or any other search engine from indexing your page, add this meta-tag to any page where you
have content you want to control the distribution of.

<meta name="robots" content="noindex,nofollow">

Even if you have no links to your download page, if your users have the Google or Yahoo toolbar installed (or any
other toolbar for that matter), they're letting the search engines know about your page. That meta tag will help stop
that.

<html>

<head>

<title>...</title>

<META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="NOINDEX, NOFOLLOW">

</head>

Don't confuse this NOFOLLOW with the rel="nofollow" link attribute.

ie

Visit my <a href="http://www.example.com/">discount dogs</a> site.

That comment would be transformed to

Visit my <a href="http://www.example.com/" rel="nofollow">discount dog </a> site.

 

For example, this is how the HTML markup for an ordinary link might look:

<a href="http://www.site.com/page.html">Visit My Page</a>

This is how the link would look after the nofollow attribute has been added, with the attribute portion shown in bold

<a href="http://www.site.com/page.html" rel="nofollow">Visit My Page</a>

This would also be acceptable, as order of elements within the anchor tag makes no difference:

<a rel="nofollow" href="http://www.site.com/page.html" >Visit My Page</a>

 

The "NAME" attribute must be "ROBOTS".

Valid values for the "CONTENT" attribute are: "INDEX", "NOINDEX", "FOLLOW", "NOFOLLOW". Multiple comma-separated values are allowed, but obviously only some combinations make sense. If there is no robots <META> tag, the default is "INDEX,FOLLOW", so there's no need to spell that out. That leaves:

<META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="NOINDEX, FOLLOW">
<META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="INDEX, NOFOLLOW">
<META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="NOINDEX, NOFOLLOW">
