Google listing "feed" urls instead of actual posts in serps

Google keeps listing my wp feed url instead before my actual content page.

For example:

www.site.com/car/2006/the-content-page/feed/

instead of..

www.site.com/car/2006/the-content-page/


How do i block google from indexing feed pages?

 

I had the same problem, too. You'll need to create and use a robots.txt file on your site. Check out this link for all the info:

Thanks for the reply. I dont think that will work as the directory name i wish to block is at the end of the url. If it were www. site.com/feed/car/2006/the-content-page/ i could have blocked it via robots.txt.

 

You can block any conceivable URL, you just have to know the syntax. My robots.txt blocks any URL with the word "feed" at the end of the URL. Google for "robots.txt" and you'll find what you need, I guarantee it.

 

Somebody should create a wordpress plugin for this

 

There's no need for a plugin, you either use the robots.txt file or you edit your template to add rel="nofollow" to the code that displays the feed link. That's it.

 

which template?

 

needs to hack wp code tho'
some stuff in header.php
but rss links are generated from wp function
look for feed related functions and change anchor code there

 

Yup got it thanx.

 

This is why I prefer the robots.txt method, so I don't have to hack any code in WP.

 

mod rewrite can be used to redirect feed requests with google search referrers to actual site
