Meta Robots

[hitchhiker]

<META name="robots" content="noindex">

Will that actually stop indexing on a page, I have a few pages that I need for the clients but not for google..

Ok to index this:

www.widgets.com/something/

But not these:

www.widgets.com/something/5833
www.widgets.com/something/46563

etc.

Here's my tip of the day...

Change all links to /whatever/redirect.php?url=foo.bar...
Set robots.txt to not index anything in /whatever/
Now you can link to all your peer sites, [those who will trade for a link to you], without increasing their PR, but increasing your PR from the reciprical links.

This hint of the day was brought to you by vincevincevince.

Hehe, thanks vince, the idea is to just remove pages from an image gallery. The pages are 90% similar to each other, these pages rotate images down the side of the site, so i dont want them indexed.

I'll check those links above, thanks.
