HI

i found this line in a source of a blogging platform

<meta name="robots" content="none">

How does Google read it?

i found this line in a source of a blogging platform

<meta name="robots" content="none">

asking the search engine not to index the page from what i can remember!

It’s a noindex and nofollow in a single, more strict directive.

The meta tag <meta name="robots" content="none"> tells search engines not to index the page and not to follow any links on it. It is a stricter directive that combines both noindex and nofollow, meaning the page will not appear in search results and its links will not pass SEO value

That's a great find, javadth. The `<meta name="robots" content="none">` tag is indeed a strict directive that tells search engines like Google to both noindex and nofollow the page. I've seen this tag used on sensitive or private pages, such as login or registration pages, where the site owner doesn't want the content to be crawled or indexed. Can you tell us more about the blogging platform you found this on, and what kind of page it was used on? Was it a default setting or something the site owner had specifically implemented?
