Help Me Understand Blocking Search Engines From Viewing Pages Please

Hi I'm getting to the point now where I will be launching all of my videos on a page instead of people having to download a zipped file..

Ok here's what I need laid out for me.

I need for certain pages to be only accessed by certain people after they opt in. So for instance if anyone never opted in, that particular page is not even existent in the search engines.

How do I do that?

Thanks in advance

  • You will have to have a login system that will protect the pages unless a user is logged in (this will stop robots from visiting the pages because they are protected) or have a password protected directory at server level.

    Its the only fullproof way.

    • Thanks but i believe that having a password protection might not be the only way. I'm putting my videos on sort of like a regular page and I seen others do this. That's how I know that having a login might not be mandatory...??
  • I've never ran a site with different access levels, so I can't really help you out with that part of your question.

    However, if you don't want search engines to index a specific page, you can add a no-index meta tag to the top of the pages you don't want indexed.

    Code:
    <meta name="robots" content="noindex" />
    You insert this code in the same location as all of your other meta tags.

    It's important to note that this meta tag is not honored by all search engines. However, Google does honor the meta tag.
