    Hi,

    let's say I have this website www.mysite.com
    and google already indexed a page I don't want to be indexed which is www.mysite.com/contact.php

    how can I remove the page from index , can I just add robots.txt file with Disallow order and then after a month that page will be removed , or all indexed page is Final and can't be reversed ??


    please tell me your opinion about this
    Thanks

    Using the robots.txt file is one way. There is also a method within Google Webmaster Tools that you could use.

    And finally, you could use the meta noindex tag within the header of the page.

    OKay,
    Robots.txt will only work for subsequent indexing. But I am not sure how will Google de-index the page. It does remove a previously indexed page if its not found on several subsequent indexing.

    An easier way is to change the name of the page. SO that even it's indexed it'll be rendered non-existent.

    I m wondering why would you want to do that in the first place?

    create robots.txt and put it on your root folder.

    User-Agent: *
    disallow: /contact.php

    this is best way.

    another way
    if your site have sitemap.xml then put it priority 0.00.

    <loc>www.mysite.com/contact.php</loc>
    <priority>0.00</priority>

    then check it.

    you will get success from first idea. and i think so second one is may be help. if second one is help you then reply me. ok

    You can sign up for Google webmaster tools and there is a simple way of accomplishing this through there tools.
