Description
In the last months I already tried to improve Google indexing of CiviCRM pages by submitting PR's to:
- NOINDEX print preview pages (https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-21639)
- NOINDEX non-public Event Info & Map pages (https://issues.civicrm.org/jira/browse/CRM-21640)
This time I stumbled upon indexed links form online viewable mailings that are indexed by Google as if they were links to the CiviCRM host website. See screenshot for an example of this for civicrm.org itself.
I think to force a NOINDEX for online viewable mailings would be a little too far, so I chose for adding a NOFOLLOW to the trackable links in those public views.
