Post by splendidbloke »

Hi there,

I've got a site online (chromascope), but google seems to have spidered every page on the site:

https://www.google.com.au/#q=chromascop ... tion+house

the services and contact page show up in the search results when I only want the main page to do so. Can I just remove the meta tags from every template other than the main page? or is there something else I should be doing to prevent this?

- thanks in advance

Search engines will crawl and list all pages linked on your site. It shouldn't be a big deal to have the contact page listed.

But, if don't want it listed, search for the meta No Follow No Index tag and set that into the meta data section of your page.

Set in your robots.txt file a disallow rule for those pages.

Next, request a removal of them using your Google Webmasters account.
