Noindex

A tag that tells search engines to keep a page out of results. Used deliberately, it keeps thank-you pages, internal search results, and thin tag archives from cluttering your presence. Left on by accident — a launch checklist item forgotten — it can silently remove your best pages from Google. Both directions need auditing.
