Hello, I have a question on Meta-tags index, follow. As all of my pages have Meta information thru sh404SEF, but there is a time lack between finishing an article and adding meta data to it. Wouldn´t it be useful to declare the Joomla! default of articles and categories to noindex, nofollow to avoid Google to index an uncomplete article / category until sh404SEF has been added with index, follow?

Kind regards Meinolf Müller

Hi

Depends on what you mean by "unfinished" and "meta data". If the actual article content is finished but the only thing missing is meta data, I would in order of preference:

- simply not published the article until it has its meta data
- if you absolutely must publish it without the meta data, then do not "noindex, nofollow" it. Meta data will be a refinement later but once you told Google to NOT look at an article, you never know how much time it will take to recover from that.
- sh404SEF will generate an automatic description if none is provided so you're covered here with the basics and you can refine later
- if the optimized meta data come later, then you can also resubmit a sitemap or use search console to crawl again that page with the URL tool, this will suggest Google to revisit the page.

Best regards
