• So if I want to add a meta robots text or a canonical tag to one of my pages… what’s the easiest way?

    Is there a way to access the actual pages html instead of having to use an addon for say, the canonical tag?

    All-in-one-seo does canonical tags, but I don’t see any place to add robot meta tags with it. Let alone any place to add it to JUST certain pages.

    Help is appreciated as always!

  • Hi,

    as far as the canonical links go, i tend to use edit my .htaccess info to deal with this rather than a plugin, seems more natural to sort it at the source .

    here is what my .htaccess looks like, ( with file compression + absolute links )

    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^MYSITE.co.uk [NC]
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.MYSITE.co.uk/$1 [L,R=301]
    </IfModule>

    <ifmodule mod_deflate.c>
    AddOutputFilterByType DEFLATE text/text text/html text/plain text/xml text/css application/x-javascript application/javascript
    </ifmodule>

    I have this at the root of my site-

    as far as robots , I tend to use the THESIS framework, as this allows you to deal with all the extra SEO stuff from the admin panel..

    but you can simply write a robots.txt file and upload that to your root, this will serve for all pages..

    Hoe that helps

    Yeah I have a robots.txt now on a site I don’t want indexed. Was wondering about meta robots to block a few pages from being indexed but allowing crawling (for backlinking purposes).

    I’ll take a look into the .htaccess. I appreciate the idea!

    I’ll look into that plugin for meta robots as well.
