SEO Nightmare: When NoIndex Goes Bad

Image
Columnist Eric Enge discusses common issues that arise from improper implementation of the noindex tag. In the right time and place, the  noindex tag  can be a wonderful thing. Unfortunately, there are times where it can cause problems. Over the past few years, I have had the chance to work on a number of sites with page counts running into the hundreds of millions. The reasons why people allow their sites to grow to such sizes are many and varied. Here are some of the more common reasons why this ends up happening: The publisher is trying to maximize their ability to rank on long-tail terms.
