We have a site with a lot of 301 redirects. Like this: http://www.example.com/go.php?id=1000 All of these redirects are getting indexed by Google which is bad as they sometimes rank above our real content So is it possible to noindex them somehow? We can't do it in the metatags as go.php isn't a file that exist. It's just a way to identify the redirects. We have been thinking about noindexing the go.php redirects through robots.txt, but how should we do that without damaging the rankings of our real content? Thanks, Mads
How long have said redirects been set up as they should replace naurally after time, can take a while though.
Though hang on they are not proper 301's are they? Perhaps this will help > http://support.google.com/webmasters/bin/answer.py?hl=en&answer=44231
They have been set up ~1 month ago. I don't think they will replace over time, as far as I can see Google thinks they are real pages.
