Ask a Question and Bots

[micmed]

The code suggestion I gave you removes nothing..... It adds a nofollow on the link.

The robots.txt adds the wild card crawl blocking for the ask a question pages.


Then, if they still crawl you can add ask_a_question to your robots skip definition in your meta_tag.php

I understand the code suggestion, I just don't have that code on my site anymore.

I had ask_a_question blocked in robots.txt already.

I thought I had ask_a_question blocked in my meta_tags.php, but after checking it again it was missing. I have added that and see if that does the trick.

I still don't understand how they can crawl something that isn't there. I redo my sitemaps on a regular basis.

Thanks for all of your help.
