Hello everyone,

If anyone has a suggestion for my problem, I would greatly appreciate it. I have a website where people can opt-in and receive a free video. I have the page set to "private" but I need to know how to prevent this page from being indexed by google so that it can only be viewed by those individuals who opt-in. My site was developed through wordpress.

Thanks!

Just list the page in your robots.txt file

User-agent: *
Disallow: /name_of_Page

  If you're using WordPress, than the Robots Meta plugin is the best. You can choose which pages you want indexed, which ones you don't, which ones you want to set to "follow", and which ones you want to be "no follow." It's very customizable on a per page and per post basis.
  
  Thanks

If there is any page that you don't want to get indexed by the Search Engines just add it to the robots.txt file and the SE crawler will then have an idea of what pages to crawl and what pages it should not crawl.
