Question
Why is crawling user profiles disallowed?
I was wondering why was my profile not indexed by Google. So i looked into DO’s robots.txt and there was a line:
# Only allow crawling of the canonical user profile
Disallow: /community/users/*?primary_filter=*
So can you explain why is profile crawling disallowed and what is a canonical profile?
