that's great Mike - what amazing and quick work youve done so far with all your plugins!

Nice!

One suggestion: maybe instead of the text "Enable NoIndex & NoFollow" a text like "Disable robots" would be easier to understand. Like you would rather say "switch off the electricity" than "switch on the circuit breaker" ;-)

Agreed I will update it at some point today.

Hi Mikeh,
nice plug again. much nicer than doin this stuff with customFields and a selfmade 'get_header'-function like I do in my templates...

eventhough I have litle suggestion:
instead of a single checkbox 'Disable Robots', a dropdownbox with all NoIndex, NoFollow combinations might be better for sophisticated SEO stuff.

Most of the time - If you want specific pages not to be in the SERPs - "Noindex / follow" is the thing to do.
At least when there are internal links on this specific page... theres no need to waste link juice.

There might even be use for 'index / nofollow' in some cases.

Why did you add the plugin, plugin anonymous_data looks like?

This is weird. I am not sure why that would happen. I did use a variable under the same name I believe, $thisfile_anony

[Oleg06]

I changed $thisfile_anony to $thisfile_anonny and now all works

Sorry about that.

Version 1.1 Added To Extend

• Changed $thisfile_anony to $thisfile_meta

Hi mikeh.

I don know if you are still developing this plugin, but I have a feature sugegstion.

I noticed that, although the pages are marked with noindex when the checkbox is active, they still appear on the sitemap generated by GS. It would be great if you could add a checkbox option that allows a page to be excluded from the sitemap.

(For your reference I was asking about a way to do this on this thread)

Pretty sure this is no longer maintained.
