Is there a code for search engines to follow links on a page, but NOT index or list the page?

Thanks.

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

in the head section of your HTML should do the trick.

Great, thanks.

So just drop the NOFOLLOW from the
<META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="NOINDEX, NOFOLLOW"> code.

The SE will automatically follow links with that command? No need to put in something to ensure that it will?

Thanks.

META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="NOINDEX, FOLLOW">
...if you want to be thorough.

Thanks tedster. I'll add the FOLLOW just to be sure.

Very good. This may help me a lot with Google.

Thanks.
