Custom Robots Header Tags and Purpose
In Blogger, you are going to deal with the
following custom robots header tags.
all – If you set this tag, crawlers are not
bound by any constraints. They can freely
crawl, index and render your content visible to search engine thereby making all the webpage on your blog visible to search engine.

noindex – if you enable the noindex not all your content will be visible to search engines.
your can restrict the crawler from rendering a webpage on your blog visible by effectively and properly making use of noindex tag
notice. Even if you don’t share the URL of
your personal blog with anybody, chances
are people will come to it from search
results. On such a scenario, you can use
noindex tag as it prevents search engines
from indexing the pages.

nofollow – Nofollow and dofollow tags are
for outbound links. Dofollow is the default
robot tag for all your outbound links. That
means the search engines can sneak upon
the pages you linked to. If you don’t want
search bots to look through your links,
addition of a nofollow tag must help you.
none – none combines the features of both
noindex and nofollow tags. The crawlers
will neither index your pages nor skim
through the links.

noarchive – You might have noticed a
cached label with most of the website links
on SERPs. It shows that Google has
captured a copy of your site into their
server to display in case it goes down. That
being said, the noarchive tag turns off
cached version in search pages.
nosnippet – The text snippets in search
results help people find what’s on the
webpage. If you want to keep the content
exclusive, you can turn this header tag on.
noodp – Open Directory Project or Dmoz is
a man-made directory of websites. Google
use the information from there sometimes.
You can turn it off with this tag if you want
to.
notranslate – Do you want to disable
translation on your site? Then use
no translate for the exact purpose.

noimageindex – If you allow Google to
index your images, people may have access to it thereby stealing it and making
use of it on their own websites. To prevent that,
you can keep the images non indexed by using
noimageindex tag.
unavailable_after – In Blogger, you will get a
field right to this tag. So, the webpage will
be non indexed after this time.
With that being said, let’s go to the practical aspect.
