Google Unavailable After Meta Tag

SearchEngineLand.com reports via Jill Whalen’s HighRankings.com that Google will create a new meta tag which will allow people to inform Google when a particular page will no longer be available for crawling. The “unavailable_after” meta tag will allow webmasters to create expirations for pages with time-sensitive data. Some expect this tag to be welcomed by companies that deploy seasonal offers. This could potentially eliminate “breaking news” from 5 years ago from appearing in Google’s search engine results pages. It is not known if other search engines will support the new meta tag.
