Exclude by page content

Hello,

Is it possible to exclude a page by looking for some words in the page content? Because many of our pages contain dynamic content, sometimes a page simply has no content. A calendar page with no events is a good example. Could we look for a phrase like "this page has no content", and not index that page?

Thanks, John

Yes. You can use the "Exclude by Field" option and search for content either within the HTML or the text content.

If you are modifying the program generating the pages to add the "this page has no content" phrase it may be more appropriate to add a <meta name="robots" content="noindex"> to the head.
