<meta id="MetaRobots" name="ROBOTS" content="INDEX, FOLLOW" />

appears on every page....

Is there a way to edit this so it does not appear?   What happens if is place this in the page settings, header tag section -->

<meta id="MetaRobots" name="ROBOTS" content="NOINDEX, NOFOLLOW" />

Which line wins?

Just search the codebase and yes it does auto place it.....

 

            ' META Robots
            If Request.QueryString("ctl") IsNot Nothing AndAlso _
                    (Request.QueryString("ctl") = "Login" OrElse Request.QueryString("ctl") = "Register") Then
                MetaRobots.Content = "NOINDEX, NOFOLLOW"
            Else
                MetaRobots.Content = "INDEX, FOLLOW"
            End If

 

It appears that there is no way to change it right now.

The effect of injecting the tag on your own would probably have unpredictable results depending on the crawler.

Can you give some background as to why you want to change this?

I would really like the option to turn that off at the portal or page level.

Our site has a number of pages that do not require authenticaton but are used with a querystring value to display dynamic content. Goggle indexes these pages and an organic search for the site name includes these dynamic pages in the results. Clicking the link from google causes unexpected results due to the missing url param. I have coded around this by injecting some js to check for the param and perform a redirect when it is missing.

It would be nice to optionally have the robots tag set to NOINDEX, NOFOLLOW so these pages do not get indexed and do not show in search results.

There's no way of changing this easilly but you can modify the Default.asax.vb file (just comment out the Robots Meta) to remove it and then apply custom code to the head tag through page settings when logged in.  I have removed the Robots Meta tag and injected custom canonical tags using this method.

 

Hope that helps!

Scratch the the first bit of the last reply.  Open up Default.aspx (root) and Default.aspx.vb and search both for the Robots tag.  It may need to be removed from both files or it could be hard-coded in Default.aspx.  The rest of the last reply is correct though.
