<noindex, follow> Robot META Tag

Does it work? Is it spam?

[Oaf357]

Do most search engine spiders completely stop crawling when seeing this?

Is it considered spam?

I honestly don't think it would be spam considering you're not wanting the page to be in an index just wanting the links to be followed.

What do you folks think?

Ooops! Didn't see nofollow.

I'm trying to see if the spider actually will do what the tag says (noindex,follow). Don't index the page but follow the links. Any more insite would be great.

Try The Robots META tag [robotstxt.org] Oaf357. MarieC just pointed me to this [webmasterworld.com] after I posted what I mis-read in yours.

I hope this answers your question.
