This plugin will give you full control of the meta robots tag for each post or page. meta robots have a direct influence to the indexing behaviour of search engines. After activation you will find it as a WordPress typical meta box on the edit page in admin area.

From a dropdown menu you can choose the following options:

  • index, follow
