OSMap Allows You to Add No Index for Joomla Pages

OSMap is the way to create a sitemap in Joomla. It allows you to create a sitemap so that search engines can find your content.

OSMap Pro also allows you to make Google ignore content included in your sitemap. If you have a menu item or article set to noindex, nofollow, Google bots won't crawl and won't index that link.
