Hi there,

cause of double entries?

A site map is a page that is presented to the people visiting your site, it is a central place to link to all of the pages in your site.
The No Index and No Follow meta tags are used to tell search engine spiders not to index a certain page or follow links on that page.
If you do not want spiders to index or follow a page, you need to include those meta tags regardless of the site map.
I know,
but if you send the sitemap to the searchengines and still have follow and index, then I think you create double content, or not?
The XML site map is what gets sent to the search engines.
You should not include NOINDEX and NOFOLOW pages in your XML site map.
Those pages can be included ion the HTML sitemap though.
No, thats not what I mean :-)
The sitemap is as created by Surveyor.
But my single pages, like index, profil, gallery etc. the need to have NOFOLLW NOINDEX I think, cause the will be indexed or listed by the Sitemap or not?
they will be indexed by the site map if you include them in the site map.
