Ad server not indexed

[Noriel]

Hello guys,

My client is using an ad server (not sure if i am allowed to tell which one so I will not for now) installed at ads.clientsite.com. It is using noindex, nofollow for preventing Google to index it but also it is blocking like 90 000 other pages on clientsite.com to be indexed/crawled.

The guy that applied the noindex tag it is no longer here so I cannot ask him about the logic behind those noindex tags.

How big could be the damage to clientsite.com if I will remove the noindex tag from the ad server (ads.clientsite.com?

If needed I can PM you the ad server platform we are using,

Regards,

Ed

Hi Ed,

It seems like an ad server should always be no-indexed but that something else is going wrong here which is preventing the search engines from actually getting the content on the pages.

Hi Martijn,

Thanks for your reply.

Could this be caused by "Disallow: /" in ads server's robots.txt ?
