indexifembedded tag tells the search engine that you’d still like your content to be indexed when it’s embedded through iframes even when the content page has the noindex tag.

Google is allowed to index the content of a page if it’s embedded in another page through iframes or similar HTML tags, in spite of a noindex directive.

Simple explanation of indexifembedded tag

[adinserter block=”7″]

For example, let’s suppose you (Mr. A) have an article, published on example1.com/article.html. Then Mr. B use the page link (example1.com/article.html) and embed in his webpage “example2.com/article-with-embed.html”. Mr. B put noindex on his webpage (“example2.com/article-with-embed.html”) to stop from being indexed.

Earlier, when the noindex tag was used, the tag also prevented the embedded content to be indexed. But now, you (Mr. A) can ask or request Mr. B to use this indexifembedded tag. So that your article content (that is embedded) cannot be prevented from being indexed.

How does indexifembedded tag works?

indexifembedded only has an effect if it’s accompanied by noindex.
