Is this meta tag real?

<meta name="robots" content="follow,noimageindex,nomediaindex">

It's a new one on me. It looks like wishful thinking.

It seems to be something ancient, which dates back to Altavista.

I haven't heard about these tags until you mentioned them. All the ones I
know reside in a page that I use as a reference:

Doesn't actually tell me anything other than they may work. Or not.
Possibly. With some engines. In a different format, maybe.

I haven't gotten around to fiddling with it yet but it's definitely
real.

Nowhere do I see anything about nomediaindex or noimageindex. Am I
missing something?

The way to avoid indexing of media is to centralise it under sensible,
aptly-names directories, e.g.

/images

and

/videos

Then, in robots.txt

User_agent: *
Disallow: /images
Disallow: /videos



Best wishes,

Roy

In one of them there's a note "relatively few robots" blah blah.
Clearly it is leading-edge stuff. My guess is that a couple robots
follow it and know about those parameters, and document it in their
'bots.html or wherever. But your guess is as good as mine. I'd look
for a new RFC or some bot-page that documents them.

Until the note changes to "almost all robots follow this" I'm not
going to lose any sleep over it.

I dunno if you're being sarky or not, I just can't tell, but I'd be
inclined to believe this is old and it never caught on.
