Details

Privacy policy, terms and conditions and the like are pages that have no need for being listed on Google.

The logic is that there is a certain amount of PR that a site has, and that should be used on the pages that need it most. While it is arguable good for such pages to be able to be found on Google if they were searched for specifically, there is no need to specifically give them Google PR.

There is also the option available to tell google to noindex the pages. Having a <meta name="robots" content="noindex"> on a page will allow that page to accrue PR, and to pass PR, but not to be cached in its own right on Google. I have personally not used this, but have been made aware of its use in the last week. Personally, I don't mind such fluff pages being listed, I just don't want to give them much PR.

Having a noindex in the robots.txt will still allow that page to be listed in Google, but on the basis of inbound links, and will list only the url. So this is not such a good option.

Therefore two check boxes
- nofollow links into the page (from menus/footers etc)
- noindex meta on the page

This task depends upon
