Jill explains that this tag comes in handy when you have a limited time offer promotional page, and on this page, the promotion will expire on a specific date.  By using the "unavailable_after" tag, you can tell Google that they should not crawl this page, after the promotion expires.  There are several practical scenarios for this tag.  We have emailed Dan Crow and others at Google for when this tag is expected to be supported.</P></blockquote><div style="height: 2px; font-size: 2px; background: #dcdcdc; border-bottom: solid 1px #f5f5f5; margin: 2px 4px;"></div><blockquote style="text-align: left; padding: 0px 8px; margin: 4px 0px 8px 0px; background: transparent; border: none;" cite="http://searchengineland.com/070712-093059.php"><P>Jill's <A href="http://www.highrankings.com/advisor/getting-into-google/">Getting Into Google</A> has a lot of other useful and interesting topics, in my opinion, it is worth a full read.</P></blockquote></div><div style="margin: 0px 6px 6px 4px;"><table style="font-size: 11px;border-spacing: 0px;padding: 0px;" cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0" width="100%"><tr><td style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;">&nbsp;</td><td align="right" style="background:transparent;border-width:0px;padding:0px;width:107px" width="107"><a href="http://clipmarks.com/share/81B93573-438D-4E32-8AA9-665584D75515/blog/" title="blog or email this clip"><img src="http://content7.clipmarks.com/images/c2b-foot.png" border="0" alt="blog it" width="107" height="17" style="border-width:0px;padding:0px;margin:0px;" /></a></td></tr></table></div></div>
