Yes, the site is under development, dev46. I want to add the Privacy Policy in the footer, plus one link from the contact page.

Hi,

Are you looking to add the meta tag?
<meta name="robots" content="noindex,nofollow">

Currently there is not a way to add extra meta tags to a page in the CMS.

If you only want to have this occur on the one page I can add it in for you. Or if you think you'll frequently adding the meta tag then you might want to consider having one of our programmers add in a feature to add extra meta tags.

I will need it added to one page, the contact page, plus in the footer. Other than that I don't see me needing it anywhere else.

Actually, I think he is referring to the no follow attribute. In this case, wherever you link to that page, you would create the link like so: <a href="/privacypolicy.php" rel="nofollow">Privacy Policy</a>

I do not know the actual filename, so you will have to replace what I wrote with whatever filename you are using. This will have to be done in html mode, to switch in the CMS click the button that looks like <> beside the image upload tool

Ah, that's what I was referring to. Still much to learn when it comes to talking in a "webmaster's" language

Will that stop the page from getting indexed?

If all places on your website that link to it have nofollow then yes (Well mostly) - if for some reason someone on the web links to it from somewhere else then it would still get indexed, but that is not your issue correct?

Essentially yes. Now that I think about it, it is probably not even that important to not have it indexed. It's just that almost every site will have a similar privacy policy, in most cases the words would be similar, especially for fvreb sites since (i believe) that there is a "privacy policy template" that they wish members to use. So my main concern is from a SEO standpoint, hundreds of sites with same content within the same geographic area.....
