Help! How can I block certain pages from getting listed?

Uh oh, I just searched up one of my websites and...bad news! This particular website is a "squeeze page" designed to build my mailing list. I offer opt-ins a free report in the form of a pdf.

However, Google has listed the page with the free pdf so theoretically my visitors can go right to the report without opting- into my mailing list. Hence, I'm, losing a lot of potential subscribers.

Again, bad news. Any help is greatly appreciated. This is URGENT!

Thanks,
Chris

    Hi,

    Add this to your head tags:

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

    (or just noindex will do it)

    Hi,

    As Tim referred better use a robot.txt block. You can block certain folders, ie report, etc etc

    I always block those folders and no problem so far.
