To Index or NoIndex,Follow or Nofollow

6 replies
Ive read this at many places that Tag pages and category pages should be kept 'noindex' and 'nofollow' ... i dun really know why this should be done, they say it results in duplicacy of content but in my own experience by making them follow n index one of my sites is acquiring all top 3 results for many keywords, and the site is like ,earning $1800-1900 a month through adsense... and not only that, recently i received a message from adsense telling me that m UNDERMONITIZING my website and i should add more ad units and blah blah... and after few days i also got invitation for an Adsense Webinar... which means they've started to love my website...

What do you guys think ??
#follow #index #nofollow #noindex

    Simply use Platinum SEO or another plugin or theme that inserts the canonical tag into your WordPress structure. This helps Google to select the most relevant duplicate page on your site while retaining search relevant keyword matches for tags and categories.

  • $1800 a month on one site from adsense is incredibly good!

    It sounds like you're doing everything right! As the old saying goes "If it aint broke, don't fix it"
