Should I use rel=index or rel=contents in this instance?
- by Martin Bean
I’m creating an MMA website. There’s the home page, there’s a fighters section whose index page lists fighters in the organisation, and then each fighter has a profile page. The URL structure is like this:
/
/fighters/
/fighters/john-doe
My question is: on the fighter’s profile page I want to link to the fighters index page (/fighters). In my HTML page, which meta tag would be the most appropriate?
<link href="/fighters/" rel="index" />
Or:
<link href="/fighters/" rel="contents" />
I’m having trouble distinguishing which would be best, and whether rel="index" would be the index for the whole site or the current page/section I’m viewing?
