How to hide a page from google?

Hi, I have one directory where i added a page with the details on how to advertise on a directory network of 6 directories.

One month after i added this page, the directory droped to PR0 from PR3 so I'm going to delete that page and create a new one but i don't want google to see it. I'll put an advertise with us link on my directories.

My question is how to hide that link and page from google? will a nofollow tag be enough?

Thanks in advance..

 

if you want to hide from googlebot, you can use robots.txt and meta tags . these pages will not be visited by googlebot

 

As above, and besides that you can try to use site removal tool from google webmasters tools

 

I have added <META NAME="GOOGLEBOT" CONTENT="NOINDEX, NOFOLLOW"> to the page that's causing me problems, will that be enough to not be penalized again?

 

Add this to your robots.txt:

User-agent: *
Disallow: /page.you-dont-want-crawled.html

 

I don't get it... how and where do I add that?

 

roboys.txt easy way for it

 

Ok, so I have to create URL/robots.txt", and put User-agent: *
Disallow: pageurl.you-dont-want-crawled.html in the txt file, is that correct?

Can anyone give me a simple information on how to do it for a dumb...

Thanks.

 

Just make a file in Notepad or something.
Save it as robots.txt

and put the following text inside the document:

User-agent: *
Disallow: /TheFileYou WantToHide

and upload it to Your site root.

 

I just have to put the text file in my ROOT? Or I need to put some code in the page i want to hide that link to the text file?

 

u make new file, and define what google shouldn't see. U don't put anything on the existing page, u create new file in the root.

 

also, in the text file is that ok?:

User-agent: *
Disallow: http://www.directory.linking-service.com/advertise.php

Thanks for your help..

 

I don't understand something here. If your page is not indexed in Google, so what kind of penalty you can expect? They can't penalize you then. Or I don't get this.

 

The page is indexed, and even once it's not indexed, google may continue to read the page, I want to hide it completely... Google know about many pages not indexed I think... Anyway, I don't want them to see this page exist as I got PR0 because of it.... I got PR3 at the last PR update, and one month after i added that page, PR droped to 0..

 

Ok, but for the truth - They always can 'see' your page, whatever you mean by that - you can just exlude your page of their index. But what do they do then with all info about your site/domain - nobody knows.

 

nofollow or robots.txt sometimes do not 100% work ...

btw
why you only want to hide from google

 

Very highly doubtful that was the reason.

 

Here's the code to block Google bots

User-Agent: Googlebot
Disallow: /

 

I think this will disallow G from whole site, ain't?

 

Yep,quite risky I must say.

But this one works fine for me

<meta name="robots" content="noindex,nofollow">
