bruckerrlb Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 I've got a question, I've created a website, with the majority of the information one one page, utlizing lightwindow. What this basically does is it calls an html file and displays it like lightbox does. The only problem I'm thinking I might encounter is when a user finds a page intended to be displayed on lightwindow on the search engine. The reason this could be a problem is because it's only intended to be displayed using lightwindow (there is no fancy UI or anything like that outside of lightwindow, it looks weird. So my question is, how can I use javascript to re-direct a user when he/she finds a page on a search engine to go to the home page. I know how to do a regular redirect, but am not sure how to do it in javascript or set up the conditions for it to only be applied when a user comes in my site through a search engine. Any help is greatly appreciated! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Adam Posted December 11, 2008 Share Posted December 11, 2008 Add this meta tag to the <head> of the documents to stop search engines indexing them pages: <meta name="robots" content="noindex, nofollow" /> Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
bruckerrlb Posted December 11, 2008 Author Share Posted December 11, 2008 Thanks for the heads up on the meta tag, I'm sure that will come in handy down the road. For the time being, I'd like for the search engines to crawl the sites, because a lot of my keywords are found on these pages. Yet the thing is the pages are to be presented in a special way using lightwindow http://www.stickmanlabs.com/lightwindow/ When they find the html page in a search engine, I'd like for them to be automatically brought back to the index page so they can view the content correctly. Any ideas? Thanks in advance! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
