"Here Matt used the terminology "Uncrawled reference" http://www.stonetemple.com/art... Just to confuse matters John Mu does say "for indexing if we don't crawl" https://plus.google.com/107576... I think what Matt says is much cleaner... why? Because then if a URL is "indexed" it means it has been crawled, and then a meta "noindex" or x-robots noindex can remove it." - Andy Beard

"I have some rough code that I can drop in a stripped down genesis template to remove it from a page I am using in an iframe if that is useful. You didn't say why you wanted to remove it. Otherwise if it is purely cosmetic it would be easy to use some javascript to change the CSS and hide it" - Andy Beard

"The 14 day free trial makes it even worse for an affiliate, because they wouldn't know if traffic converted to $ for 14 days. You need to front load the offer even if you are selling it that cheap. e.g. $3 per qualified lead You would need to know the people sending the traffic and know your conversion rates into paying subscribers, lifetime customer value etc. Even it would only be possible if it was in a niche with massive traffic potential that is otherwise hard to monetize." - Andy Beard

"All the Adsense I am seeing seems to be retargetting which based on a recent SEOmoz article suggests the actual source is Adroll. Surely you should cut out the middleman and show Adroll through FM" - Andy Beard

"PageRank with a huge fudge factor for perceived quality are the primary factors in indexation still." - Andy Beard

"Dennis don't forget crawl efficiency, canonicalization etc. Google could easily crawl 400% less pages, and potentially less Twitter home page hits if it could be assured to eventually get the same content later. That is especially true if the crawler understands the site structure. They don't need to crawl individual tweets." - Andy Beard

"Google respect nofollow specific to this guideline http://support.google.com/webm... There are some details there of situations where they might crawl a link, such as when it includes rel="me" but that doesn't mean the link passes PageRank." - Andy Beard

"There is no such thing as a noindex link directive. Noindex is only page based using a number of mechanisms but those work only after Google has crawled the page to see the directive. Even when it is a page directive, Google can still cache the page, and use the links on the page in its calculations." - Andy Beard
