Overview

Developed by Mad Fish Digital, this plugin saves webmasters time when finding and removing thin pages from search engine indexes.

The plugin provides an interface to sort posts by word count and character count, then bulk noindex or nofollow them. Categories and terms can be sorted by post count and managed the same way. Author archive URLs can now also be managed from a dedicated tab — useful for controlling whether author pages appear in search results.

Please Keep in Mind

After a page or category is noindexed, it can take search engines up to a few weeks before the page stops appearing in the search index. The amount of time will depend on how frequently a search engine crawls your website. We recommend using Google Search Console to further analyze how your pages appear in the search…

Great Plugin
by Ivcata·8 months ago

Great plugin.

It helped me NoIndex and NoFollow about 200 pages.

Product pages that only paid members of the site have access to, but they also appeared in the sitemap (because I forgot to NoIndex and NoFollow them when creating), which is not good.

This plugin probably saved me about 2 days of manual deindexing work.

Big thanks to its developers.

No Bulk Indexing/Unindexing for Categories and Tags
by Kissington·2 years ago·1 reply

The idea is good but the developer forgot to include bulk indexing/un-indexing for categories and tags. I installed this plugin looking for a way to index categories and tags which had been no-indexed in the past by a SEO plugin I deleted.

Will I lose the status of the posts if I deactivate the plugin
by doctorlai·2 years ago·1 reply

Just wondering where the status of the posts are stored, If I deactivated the plugin, will the existing posts stay the same status?
