Zinn® SEO how-to: Keep thin pages out of search results

Keep thin pages out of search results

Password pages, empty categories, comment pages and feeds are kept out of search results for you, and every rule can be changed.

1. Open the robots rules — Go to SEO, Clean-up, Robots rules. Each rule names the pages it covers.
2. Keep the safe defaults — Password-protected posts, empty categories, tags and archives, comment pages and feeds are kept out of search results. Their links are still followed. A page number a post does not have goes back to the post.
3. Switch off a rule you do not want — To have empty categories in search results, for example, switch that rule off and press Save changes. It applies at once.
