(Pages) Noindex for some databases -> SEO

Please add a possibility to exclude some databases from search engine indexing. There should be a possibility to add

<meta name="robots" content="noindex" />

to all database records in one database at once (probable via page database), and to exclude certain databases from the sitemap.

Examples:

  1. Databases with thin content, like database relationship records created only to group the main records.
  2. Databases with quotes, citation, news snippets - not unique content.
  3. Databases created from forum topics, blogs etc. - duplicate content.

Thin, not unique and duplicate content is terrible for SEO. It would be perfect if we could control, what databases should be indexed and what not. 

Thanks!

You can add robot rules pretty easily...  from the ACP:

  • Search for "Search Engine Optimization"
  • Click "Meta Tags".
  • Enter the base URL of the database with a wildcard (/articles/* for example)
  • Click the blue "+Add" button.
  • Under the "Meta Tag Name" option, choose "Robots".
  • Under the "Content" option, enter "noindex" 

Save your changes.  By using a wildcard in the database URL, it will cover all database records under it.  

This would be harder to do for forums and clubs as they don't have a common URL structure.  Databases should work however.
