      Hi guys

      I am checking my website for possible technical issues and was wondering if there is a tool or other way to see which of my pages employ the head noindex tag if any. Do you happen to know?

      Thanks

      Lily

        Hello Lily,

        One option is to View source of the Page and find the no-index tag there, if there is any then remove them.. or if you have fairly large site to check then its better If you use PHP, it should be fairly easy to write a script that goes through the sites, fetches the page and parses them for 'nofollow'.

        Regards

        Sherry

          Hi

          Thanks for adding up. My question is more about a tool which will list all pages which employ the noindex, not to check them one by one individually.

          Thanks

              Hi Lily,

              You can find this information in your moz crawl reports. If you export the report and look for the column 'Blocked by meta-robots' this should give you a list of the pages that have this tag (they will be flagged true in this column). You can also use the screaming frog tool which should give you this information in the meta and canonical tab.

                Thanks, guys!

                The tool Shaharyar suggested was exactly what I need.

                Cheers.

                • My beta site (beta.website.com) has been inadvertently indexed. Its cached pages are taking traffic away from our real website (website.com). Should I just "NO INDEX" the entire beta site and if so, what's the best way to do this? Please advise.
