Daddy Posted June 10, 2022 Share Posted June 10, 2022 /checkout and potentially /search should be disallowed by default. Seeing a lot of IndexNow requests for those pages. I've blocked it on my end but thought it could be useful to add to the default aia, CheersnGears, SeNioR- and 2 others 5 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Management Matt Posted June 13, 2022 Management Share Posted June 13, 2022 I agree with checkout, but I'll need to think about /search as this would exclude the tag search results which have some SEO merit. Jordan Miller 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hi @Matt could you explain please how tag search results can have SEO merit? Maybe I've been doing it wrong for years, but not a single url on my site with /tags/ is indexed by Google. For years I have been suggesting to improve the tag pages also for SEO reasons. I would like to have a decent intro and an image on the main tag pages. A dream would be tag pages with "sections" - first Pages database posts with the tag, then forum posts, then blog posts, then photos and so on. But that‘s a dream 😉 As they are now, they are just search results pages in another way. Or am I really doing something wrong there for years?
