index, all?

[Boogalou]

I have a link partner that instead of placing "index, follow" on the page has "index, all." He's only got this on the page with my link. On all other pages he's got "index, follow."

Will the "all" somehow stop pr from flowing to my site? Is this a trick, or will it have no effect? Just haven't seen this before.

Thanks!

"all" in the context of a robots meta element is the equivalent of "index,follow". Including any of these attribute values is actually useless, as these are already the default values for all major search engine robots.

Thank you very much for the explanation Encyclo.

Very kind of you to take the time.
