      Hi Everyone,

      Encountered this NOHTMLINDEX tag within the section of a website and I am not really sure how it affects the performance of the website and its use. This meta robots tag has been used on numerous pages like the home page, content pages and forum threads. Is it good to keep it there or should it be removed and why?

      Thanks in advance!

      Steve

        Hi,

        I am not sure but I would recommend it's use is to 'hide' pages from the robots, not really for anything else.  It is used for exclude content from being crawled,  you can add this tag manually to all pages that they don't want the index server to crawl, but why you add this tag on home page and content page do you don't want to crawl that pages??
