Now Google are offering publishers separate controls for how Google News and Google Search might index (or not) their content. Press Gazette reports Google chief legal counsel David Drummond thus ...
“The Robots Exclusion Protocol, which is honoured by all good search engines, gives the publisher tremendous control over how content is shown. Don’t index this section of my site, display my headlines but not story snippets, remove this article from the index after a certain date, and so on.
“Today I can announce that we’re giving publishers even more control by launching a separate crawler for Google News. That means that if you choose you can give Google one set of instructions for how we should treat your content in Google News and a different set of instructions for Google Search."
