    #googleindex  ;
  • Edwin Jonk: In general, you can use this tag to remove URL's from the index (noindex), but these URL's will still pass PageRank (follow).
  • Charu Rastogi: If URL's are not indexing by search engine, still will pass page rank...this is what i am not able to understand?
  • Edwin Jonk: Because it is still a part of the link graph.
  • Tony McCreath: Think of noindex as meaning "don't show in search results". The page is still crawled and part of the link graph for PageRank.
