<META NAME="robots" CONTENT="noindex">
It was supposed to be under discussion here....
(the hypermail archives stop in December 95, too).
Can anyone point me to info or fill me in on the status of
this tag? (It appears that "expires" doesn't accomplish this.)
Will this "noindex" do the trick? What is the best way to exclude
pages from indexing (by cooperative robots, of course) ?
"robots.txt" doesn't do it for virtual servers where we don't
have access to the real server root.
Many of us have pages we'd rather see left unindexed,
notably "expired" pages that we don't remove entirely
in order to avoid an ugly 404, but hate to see them turn up
in the search engines.
Seems like it's harder to get unlisted than listed!

Thanks,
