META NAME="ROBOTS" - syntax question/google index problem

Hi,

I'm having a problem that google has indexed unwanted pages. They all show-up as [pdf] in a google search. I'm wondering where this is coming from. Is this generated by google or are these coming from my site by having the option Printer Friendly Pages enabled?

I thought that if the option is enabled the pdf-template metatag would prevent google from indexing.

In CMSMS under Printer Friendly Pages, tab PDF-template the following is defined;

Code: Select all

<META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="NOINDEX></META>
Is that correct?

Or did I have to include;

Code: Select all

<META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="NOINDEX">
Thx for ur help
