There was a problem hiding this comment.
makes sense. QA should be able to verify the fix works given the problem description.

Curiously, I just spent some time purposefully hiding these file facets from googlebot on our prod. servers. I was taken aback by how much unnecessary crawling they were responsible for (again). |

@landreev If it is not what is desired, let me know and I will revert it. |

Thanks. I've been experimenting with "nofollow", among other things. There's some evidence that googlebot doesn't always honor it (and of course, there are other bots that don't honor any rules). But it definitely shouldn't hurt, so please leave it in place, thank you! |

I haven't verified yet, but I would guess that this has always been the case. |

@ErykKul @landreev I just read a bit on nofollow and saw this: Nofollow for internal links. You shouldn’t use nofollow for internal links. If you don’t want a certain page to be crawled or indexed, there are better ways to achieve it, such as robots meta tags. I am probably missing something but it is mainly used for ranking. Is that the same as crawling? I did not see it say it would not crawl, only not pass that link info back for ranking. |
I tested on demo, it works there. |
|
OK, I'm good to merge, fine with trying nofollow as well. Can always change if it doesn't work? |
|
Seeing how publishing has always been asynchronous - not just since #9558 - I would be very surprised if there were a consistent change in this behavior since then. So my money would still be on some combination of timing and coincidence, as an explanation of the observed behavior on demo... but I don't have time to test this hypothesis heavily, so not a large sum of money. 😄 |
|
Trying to read on googlebot rules is a rabbit hole... But I am with Eryk in that I don't think it can hurt. |
|
I'm happy to take your money ;) Yeah, also saw comments that google now treats nofollow as a hint rather than as a rule. |
