How to Prevent Search Engines from Indexing Specific Pages

How to Prevent Search Engines from Indexing Specific Pages

You can prevent the indexing of a particular page in the following ways:

Applying the NOINDEX metatag:


Place one of the following metatags in the <HEAD> section of your page:
<META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="NOINDEX">
   or
Yahoo! Slurp retrieves the document, but it does not index the document text.

Applying the NOINDEX Directive:


Configure your web server to place the following directive in the HTTP header used to serve the page:
    X-Robots-Tag:NOINDEX
    
    
Note: Although the document content is not indexed, the URL might remain in the search engine database as a reference link from other public web pages.
