How to stop a page from being Indexed?

Hi..
Im building the portfolio page right now.
I have 6 sites to be placed there.

I dont want my items to get indexed on any search engines.
Items will have text, h1 tag title of site and the URL.

Im using WP Portfolio plugin.

So, these will be items of WP Portfolio page.

So, what do I need to do ?

 

Block the page in robots.txt or use the "noindex" meta tag to prevent the page from getting indexed.

 

Example please..
I dont think, meta would be possible, since wordpress generates dynamic pages.

So, best would be via robots.txt then.

 

Yes robots.txt is the easiest option, there are many examples online.

 

I too will suggest these 2 option to prevent from indexing by SE.

 

It's possible using meta NOINDEX
use it with IF statement

but just use robots to make it easier

 

Use Robots.txt. and disallow the selected url for not indexing.

 

You can use a noindex in meta tags or disallow index page in robot.txt

 

For Robots.txt, there are a lot of online internet tools to generate one. Here is the first one on Google that I found:

You can disallow this page to robots.txt that helps to you.

 

As you are using Wordpress then, download another plugin "ALL in SEO Pack". After installing that you will get panel to customize the page and post. you can fill the robot area by "nofollow, noindex" its the best solution i can suggest.

As other people are saying for Robots.txt file.. that is also the good option.

Cheers

 

u can stop it by using robot.txt file.these files instruct spiders on which pages to crawl.

 

Use robots.txt and mention Allow and Disallow its is best option for you.

 

1. use robots.txt and specify which page or pages (with a wildcard usage) you would like to DISALLOW.
2. use some WP plugin for SEO
3. use .htaccess file to disable indexing
4. add this code which allows indexing of your main page, posts and pages to your header file:

<?php if(is_home() || is_single() || is_page()) { echo '<meta name="robots" content="index,follow" />'; } else { echo '<meta name="robots" content="noindex,follow" />'; } ?>

PHP:

With some tweaking to the code above, you could use a similar code to block individual pages or login page as well.

 

Make that web page disallow in robot.txt file.

You can follow this procedure....

user-agent: *
disallow: /webpage

 

You Can Use Robots.txt.file for disallow the selected url for not indexing.
like
disallow:/Url of your page

 

Easy.

Just go to wordpress admin section
-> Settings
-> Privacy
-> Select "I would like to block search engines, but allow normal visitors"

That's it...
