Should a login page for a payroll / timekeeping comp[any be no follow for robots.txt?

[donsilvernail]

I am managing a Timekeeping/Payroll company. My question is about the customer login page. Would this typically be nofollow for robots?

I'd recommend noindexing that page, that's the only sure-fire way to keep it out of the index. Allow it to be crawled with your robots.txt though, or search engines won't be able to find your noindex tag.

Hi,

What do you mean by saying nofollow for robots.txt?

What is your purpose?? you don't want to index your page?? If yes I would suggest you to use

**Internal links shouldn't use rel="nofollow". I'm sharing an old article but I think it is still relevant.

Hope this helps.

Thanks

I may have phrased questions wrong. Was just asking if a login page should be indexed.
