My question is pretty a simple one.
I want to stop my entire domain name from being indexed and showing up in search engine results.
However, I Also have Google Analytics on all pages and want to be able to look at stats.
My question is, by adding the robots meta tag to all pages:
<meta name="robots" content="noindex,nofollow">
Will this still allow Google Analytics to gather data, or will this be blocked?
How can I achieve this scenario?
For a bit of context: Yoast seem to explain how to restrict your pages from being indexed, but from what I can see they do not mention Google Analytics or any compromises in adding the robots meta tag:
GA doesn't crawl your website, hence neither robots.txt nor <meta name="robots"> will have affect on it
