I have a blog that have a registration form on it. After people sign they will be sent to a confirmation page of my blog. This page will be mysite / sign for example. The page won't be on my main menu and won't be linked anywhere from my site. I also have other pages that won't be linked from my site. My questions is, do I have to put noindex and/or text in robots.txt for these pages. They will have some content on them.

Please let me know.

  • If you do not want these pages index, yes, rather be safe than sorry, use noindex on them in the robots file. Google somehow often finds pages that are not linked from anywhere.

    If you are using wordpress then the SEO by Yoast plugin gives you the option to set each page's noindex / nofollow individually on the editing screen.
  • If you want to noindex the page, you should use robots text to noindex the pages.
    use this code to don't crawl the url.
    <meta name="robots" content="noindex, nofollow" />

    • Since your not linking to these pages, I suggest to deindex them from your robots.txt.
  • My opinion is same use meta tag or robos.txt file.
  • Robots or noindex or both?
