Drupal Nodewords module

Digg this!

If I haven't said it before I will now. I love drupal. I don't have to focus on setting up anything - I just work on the content and to use a tired expression - Content is King.

We recently added the nodewords module to our drupal site at Exercise Equipment Review. The main feature that we were looking for was the ability to set meta tags - specifically the keywords and description tags - for each page.

What we didn't look at though was the other tags that the module was also setting. There is robots meta tag that was being set for each page as well. The default value was to allow indexing of the page.

We have specifically excluded some pages from indexing to avoid triggering duplicate content filters. More importantly we had excluded any page that was automatically generated from taxonomy terms.

Its hard to say what rule a bot would follow. Some bots do not follow the robots.txt file as they should and look for the meta tags. Here is a list of some of these "bad bots".

The lesson learned here though is to carefully look at all the different settings and default values when you install a new module in Drupal.

More comments from the Peanut Gallery.... Bill talked about excluding some pages from indexing. There are two modules involved with what he's talking about.

  • Google Sitemap (gsitemap) - This builds Google Sitemaps, which are teriffic and help you communicate information about your content to Google. The module isn't as flexible as I'd like but one feature I use a lot is to give a page a -1 priority, which excludes it from the generated sitemap.
  • RobotsTxt - This generates a /robots.txt page which gives instructions to bots on what links to follow. This module had some nice defaults like excluding all the admin pages.

Nothing in the world can take the place of Persistence. Talent will not; nothing is more common than unsuccessful men with talent. Genius will not; unrewarded genius is almost a proverb. Education will not; the world is full of educated derelicts. Persistence and determination alone are omnipotent. The slogan 'Press On' has solved and always will solve the problems of the human race.
