Consider we have vBSEO installed, where is the good point to add
<meta name="robots" content="noodp">.
<meta name="robots" content="noydir">
Just leave in
headinclude Template?
Sorry for *Bump*

Between <head> and </head> tags. Other way this would have no effect on your site. Some skins have it on diff templates, most of them under headinclude. Originally Posted by Sysop
