I am struggling to find in Magento a way to edit the <meta name="robots" content="NOINDEX,FOLLOW"> for individual pages.

Does anybody know how to? Please help.

Thanks

You should be able to do so on a per module basis, via layout xml files.

For example, should you need to set robots to NOINDEX, FOLLOW, on the Popular Search Term page:

  1. Locate the layout (module) for this particular page -> e.g. app/design/frontend/your_package/your_theme/layout/catalogsearch.xml

  2. Locate your page: <catalogsearch_term_popular translate="label">

  3. Add the following lines along with other references:

    <reference name="head">
    <action method="setRobots"><value>NOINDEX,FOLLOW</value></action>
</reference>

You could do the same for any other module (checkout, sendfriendemail etc...) for which you would need to change the default robots value.

Depends on your setup... we've got a module that you can select NOINDEX/INDEX,FOLLOW/NOFOLLOW on the admin section of each page.

Have a look at http://yoast.com/articles/magento-seo/ point 3.1.

  • Thanks Vince, good article, my problem is that I can't find the pages that I want to edit in the backend. I am a fresher with Magento and probably looking in the wrong place. I am trying to edit things like /catalog/category /tag/ /checkout/ /contacts/ /customer/ /review/ /product/ /whishlist/ Could you please tell me more about your module? Thank you – Seosmart May 05 '11 at 11:01
  • Ups had to read again the article, understood yoast metarobots module and will consider installing it. Thanks I really appreciate it – Seosmart May 05 '11 at 11:24
