How to noindex/nofolow specific posts?

hobokook · 01-25-2012, 10:37 AM

I know that to be able to tell search engine bots to not index a certain page, you have to add the following:

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

But where exactly do you put the above code? I'm not very good at coding, so I'm not sure where to put the code

Any help in appreciated.

Thanks

Hi,

Put it anywhere inside the <head></head> tags near the top of the page.

it goes in the <head> part of the html, which specific platform are you using?

You can't add this to posts on wordpress because the editor automatically deletes them, but there are plug-ins that can add it to the post.

Yes, as other members said you need to put it in the <head> section. But you are using both the noindex,nofollow values, so in this particular case, you can also use robots.txt file to achieve the results.
