December 8, 2008 at 1:01 am #136042Hi
I want to stop Google and other bots from caching the website. I have been told that the following code needs entering:
<META NAME=”GOOGLEBOT” CONTENT=”NOARCHIVE”>
<META NAME=”ROBOTS” CONTENT=”NOARCHIVE”>The best place i know is to put this in the template to stop any of the files being cached. Does anyone know where to place it on JA S II Light?

Hi

<head>
<META NAME>=”GOOGLEBOT” CONTENT=”NOARCHIVE”>
<META NAME>=”ROBOTS” CONTENT=”NOARCHIVE”>
<jdoc:include type=”head” />

Hi
i placed the relevant code where suggested but it still gets cached in search engines. Looking at the source code from IE on the main page there is a line of code suggesting to cache the site. However when i look in the template file you said to edit it is not present.
Help weould be apreciated

If you have turned the built in Joomla cache in the admin panel or if you have turned your server caching on via host cpanel etc. It will add a line of code at runtime saying to cache, that is when the content is called and displayed by joomla. That would explain the sudden appearence of an additional piece of code when the page is run/called etc
Least ways that’s my understanding, or there may be some code added by your host regardless? If cache is on in site admin settings turn it off and test the code output ( refresh the browser cache first) I hope this info is accurate ( I have been known to wrong, once in a while) and is helpful
Merry Christmas, Rhys

December 24, 2008 at 4:23 am #283906While you are on the subject of caching, it is sometimes required to disable caching by the proxy servers or by the browsers themselves. The options are :
<meta HTTP-EQUIV=”Pragma” Content=”no-cache”>
<meta HTTP-EQUIV=”cache-control” content=”no-cache”>
<META HTTP-EQUIV=”Expires” CONTENT=”Sat Jun 07 00:00:00 1980″>ShannonN FriendShannonN

Hi ShannonN
I just had a look at what was suggested. The Joomla Cache is off and i have looked in the Cpanel but cant find such option for any type of caching.

December 25, 2008 at 3:49 am #283977I have two clients using proxy servers, just can’t get them to change,
anyways, from my experience, google especially ignores meta tags, They have been misused to death over the years so google and a few others just ignore them. But, that said, spam them, abuse them, or use too many, and you may/will suffer penalties. when they see a list of metas beyond the normal keywords and description, the SE’s smell manipulation, and although no one reads the terms of service, any overt attempts to manipulate the SE’s will result in penalties and even banning. And I have seen it happena and I have several clients that has it happen and I had to fix it.
Google has also been know to ignore the noindex, no follow tag as well as the robots.txt directives. remember, their mission is to index EVERY page on the web.
The secret to indexing is keyword placement and percentage in relation to total text. Not meta tags. Put your keyword phrases in the right places, in the right format, and the right weight, and bingo, you score. Its really that easy.
