The html tag rel=noindex is using to avoid Search Engine spiders from indexing a web page. If I want to prevent one of my web page from Google, I can add the following meta tag on that page.

Please note that the symbol '|" should be excluded while reading the html codes below.

|<|meta name="robots" content="noindex"| />

The advantage for using "noindex" tag is even though the desired page is not indexed by Google we can transfer the Page Rank to that page. It is helpful when we need to block Google spiders for the fear of duplicate contents but we like to get a part of Page Rank from this page to the destination page.

If we want to block the spiders from transferring Page Rank from this page to the destination page we can use the following meta tag.

<|meta name="robots" content=|"nofollow" |/>

If we wish to block spiders from both indexing the web page and transferring the Page Rank,we should apply the following meta tag.

<|meta name="robots" content="noindex,nofollow"| />

Make a link unindexed by Google

To make a link unindexed by Google we can use the following html format.

<|a rel="noindex" href="http://www.articlerouter.com"|>This link will not be indexed <|/a>

Page Rank will transfer through the link even though that link is not indexed by google. To avoid the transfer of Page Rank we should edit the link like below.

<|a rel="noindex,nofollow" href="http://www.articlerouter.com"|>This link will neither be indexed nor transfer PR <|/a>
