John Chow spoke earlier this week about how big a difference it may be to get pages out of Google’s supplemental index. The methodology included adding a ton of stuff to the robots.txt file, blocking crawlers from seeing pages like Wordpress’s archives and categories from seeing duplicate content.
There is a much easier/faster way! There is a new plugin out there called the Duplicate Content Cure for Wordpress. It simply automates adding this line to pages which have duplicate content on it:
<meta name=”robots” content=”noindex,follow”>
This one line tells crawlers to skip over that page. One of the pages it adds this to is the categories pages…but if you still want that indexed you can do so with just a simple switch to one of the variables in the plugin code. Just change this:
$index_category_pages = false;
to
$index_category_pages = true;
You can do this by clicking “edit” on the plugin.
Installation takes two seconds, simply upload to your plugins folder and activate the plugin.
