    Almost 60% of url indexed in google from my website is wap version.. Will google will delete it after some time? If not why google is storing the wap version not original version.. I have already restricted wap in my robot file..

    oh, i see your point. put this on your robots.txt

    and fill the directory or file that you dont want to google index in disallow:/

    or put robots.txt in your root directory of your wap version

    what i use in smf is


    User-agent: Googlebot
    Disallow: /index.php?*;wap
    Disallow: /index.php?*;wap2
    Disallow: /index.php?*;imode


    works for me but will take time for them to become de-indexed.
    Once the robots txt is in place you could also use the remove url in google webmaster tools if you are careful.

    It can take some time to dis-allow Google from indexing it as well as if you want to remove some listing from Google then you need to request them manually.

    Although you have changed your Robots.txt file, usually, it will need some time to remove the indexed wap webpages for Google spiders.
    So, don't worry about that, just wait for the change gradually.
