meta nofollow... will this help site ranking?

[charlesgan]

suddently think of this today, by using the meta index nofollow, this can prevent the bot from crawling to external site, and thus preventing links to unrelevant site, and to bad neighbourhood as well. is there any proof that this helps page ranking?

Actually, I`ve never heard about such ways to improve page rank. But it seems profitable.

I think meta tags should be included on every page.

A wordpress site owner should have an easier way to say whether a particular post/page should be indexed or not.This option is particularly useful when you want to tell the search engines, not to index a particular post or page. It is also useful when you want to tell search engines like Google or Yahoo, to not hold that particular post/page in their index, anymore.In other words, this option simplifies the task of placing a request to the search engines, to remove a particular post/page from their index.


Likewise this option lets you easily tell the search engine spiders, whether links in a particular post/page should be followed or not.For example, you may like to create a sponsored post/page on your site.Unfortunately, some important search engines like Google do not like to see sponsored posts. Infact, Google insists that you nofollow all sponsored links.The meta “index,nofollow” option lets you index the post/page content but nofollow all sponsored links on that post/page.

To avoid including tags on every page you need to have file called robots.txt
