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.
