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.
How to Make Google Ignore Menu Items
- If you don't want Google bots to crawl and index a menu item included in your sitemap, edit the menu item by going to Menus > your menu > your menu item.
- Click the Metadata tab.
- Choose the Robots option noindex, nofollow.
