2. Custom Robots Header Tags
Home Page: All,noarchive,noodp
Archives and Search Pages: noindex,nofollow,noarchieve,noodp
Default For Posts and Pages: all,noodp
Here In homepage we are indexing every content but disabling achieve and open directory to crawling our content. In this way, your title and description will not have copies on different sites.
In Archive and Search pages we do not allow crawler to index them because on blogger we use multiple tags. All the tags will appear in search result. This effect your site SEO.
At last, we are using all and noodp tags because and enabling noarchieve also. The reason is simple because if your post is unavailable in google search engine. It will show the archive version of your site.
