<p>This plugin adds lines to the virtual robots.txt file (that WordPress creates automagically if the file is not present physically on the server) to block the archive.org bots.</p>
<blockquote>
<p>Please be aware of what this plugin does exactly: If you activate the plugin it will add some lines to the robots.txt file to tell the <a href="https://archive.org/" rel="nofollow ugc">Archive.org bots</a> <strong>not to crawl and index</strong> your page. This means that they won’t store a backup of your site and you won’t be able to browse the different versions of the website through time.</p>
<p>Please keep in mind that if you activate this plugin and your site is deleted from the archive.org index, you can’t undo this. If you remove the plugin and the block of the archive.org bot, they’ll start again crawling and indexing the website from that moment, but all the older information is lost. <strong>Be carefull and think if this is what you want to do!</strong>. If you mess it nobody will not be able to help you (neither we or archive.org).</p>

<p><strong>Please only activate this plugin if you know what you’re doing</strong>.</p>

<p>Thin Content Manager helps you easily identify thin content pages (i.e. posts and pages with minimal textual content) on your site and block them from search engines. The plugin calculates the body word count for each post/page on your site (disregarding words contained within HTML tags and shortcodes) and displays the information on a new ‘Thin Content Manager’ page within the Settings section of your WordPress admin panel. The admin page then provides a simple point-and-click interface to automatically insert robots noindex and nofollow tags – <meta name=”robots” content=”noindex, nofollow”> – into the head section of pages you select. These tags tell Google and other search engine spiders to ignore those pages, which is important for improving your site’s quality score and trust ranking for SEO purposes.</p>
<p>This plugin works with with single site installs only.</p>
