Ask Me Anything Google Algorithm Update --> New Robots.txt Tag

[Honeybadger]

Google posted an algorithm update yesterday
its a new robots.txt tag
called indexifembedded
helps you control content indexing
indexifembedded works with the noindex tag
specifically designed for media publishers
when they dont want their media pages indexed
means your content can be embedded on 3rd party websites
and indexed
Here's the code
<meta name="googlebot" value="noindex" />
<meta name="googlebot" value="indexifembedded" />
<!-- OR -->
<meta name="googlebot" value="noindex,indexifembedded" />
Note --> only Google supports the indexifembedded tag

Are you using <iframe =""> </iframe>
this is only relevant to that

With the indexifembedded tag, you can tell Google you'd still like your content indexed when it's embedded through iframes and similar HTML tags in other pages, even when the content page has the noindex tag.


The indexifembedded tag addresses a common issue that especially affects media publishers: while they may want their content indexed when it's embedded on third-party pages, they don't necessarily want their media pages indexed on their own. Because they don't want the media pages indexed, they currently use a noindex tag in such pages. However, the noindex tag also prevents embedding the content in other pages during indexing.

Like a YouTube embedded video or some other cross domain content embedded. < that is what they are proposing including as your content --Google plays tricky games and want to be you friend LOL.

I think this may also be a potential a legal plea in some of the lawsuits and in government scrutiny of Google and Alphabet (Google's owner now). But your honor we are including the all the plaintiff's content --that claim has no merit --we move the court to bla bla bla

End game: Waste of time --cannot see how YOU would benefit?

iframes are commonly use to EXCLUDE outbound link seepage Live cams commonly supports live camgirls iframe content for their affiliate and wants the SEO effect to be negative --we used separate promo-tool domains for the reason we did not want a thousand affiliate domains with no domain authority linking outbound to our main webcam domain.

As an 'issuer' if the iframes; this move would make the content part of the affiliate site without affecting the domain is was originated from--that might be a benefit if your website is using iframe type affiliate tools (think so?)

You buddy Google is shanking you again! 1000 sites will have the same duplicate content!!!!
That is the reason it was iframed in the first place --to be excluded --it's an affiliate trap.
