hey everyone,

So, I recently created a sitemap for my site at euriskoarticles(dot)com which is a article directory as you can see.

If you do a google search with 'site:euriskoarticles(dot)com' you will see that google has indexed roughly 1400 pages of my site already, problem is I believe google is indexing a lot of things that aren't needed, like the writers bio and my login page, or privacy page, my about us page.

How can I make google index my page page which is euriskoarticles(dot)com/index.php along with more of the articles that are hosted on my site? Is there a specific option within creating a sitemap to accomplish this?

    put nofollow on those links or prevent it from indexing it by placing a robots.txt file to deny those pages from being crawled

    Why would you want to nofollow those pages?? That doesn't make sense. More content is good for your ranking potential.

    nofollow was meant to stop comment/forum spam, not to "sculpt" your pagerank.

    Leave them in... it's not hurting anything, and it can only help.

    Yes you can prevent indexing by adding nofollow tag to the links you don't want to be picked by crawler.
