Custom Meta Tags

Sometimes you may need to exclude a page from a search engine, such as Google, or shift a page's character set, or even tell the page refresh itself every so often. Some advertising and reporting tools may require you to add a meta tag to your pages. You can achieve this in QuantumCMS by adding custom meta tags to your pages.

The first step, assuming you know the meta tag you'd like to add, is to go to the Marketing tab on a page within the QuantumCMS authoring tool. Click the Advanced button (you'll see some pre-defined meta tag options here):

In this example we have entered information for a meta tag that search engines recognize as in instruction to not include a page in its archive ("noindex") and to not follow any links on the page ("nofollow").

In this case, the final meta tag in the code will look like this:

<meta name="robots" content="noindex,nofollow">

Google provides information on other meta tags it will honor on their support site:

UPDATE: If you are using Google Analytics or the Google Site Map tools (among many others) you may be asked to upload a file to the root of your site or add a custom meta tag to the home page to verify that you are responsible for the site. You can use this feature to add the custom meta tag for Google to complete its verification process.
