3 replies
Is using this piece of code alone

<META name="robots" CONTENT="noindex, nofollow">

on some Basic pages enough, to stop the Search engines indexing them?

(I have given them long random extensions, so people wont guess them)


I want these Pages NOT to be showed when somebody enteres this in google

Site:Mysite.com

so would that green above code be enoug, to use on every one of them pages?

    Using the noindex tag should work but your can also tell the robots to leave a crtain directory alone and not index any thing at all in that directory. I had to do this when I installed tubepress on my blog because it was makeing the search engines rank me lower and give others access to my site file so they could have reset the videos or disabled my data base for a few of the files so I added the disallow tag to the robots text and it solved the problem.

      It made you rank lower? But i thought you didn't want to rank atal? as you were using the Nofollow - no index method?

      Oh so its best to make the robots NOT access the whole of the directory, as it can negavive rank your site?
