How can I ignore links from being crawled?

"I ran the Crawler, however I want certain links to not be crawled when running it."

In order to ignore links when crawling in RSSEO! you will have to go to RSSEO! > Settings > Crawler.

Here in the "Ignore links when crawling" section you can type the links that you wish to be skipped when crawling and also use wildcards in order to cover a wider range of URLs that should be ignored by the Crawler.

You can use {??} to ignore 2 characters and {*} to ignore a variable number of characters.

For example in order to ignore the link:

index.php?option=com_rsform&ItemId=9999

you can use the following wildcard:

index.php?option=com_rs{????}&ItemId={*}
