How To Prevent Indexing of Download Page?

Dear friends,

How do I prevent Google or any other search engines from spidering my download page? While I only want google to index my content pages, I wouldn't want google to be indexing my download page for my Clickbank product.

Thanks in advance,
EL

 

You need to have create a robot.txt allow or disallow robot to find that page or folder. upload to your root.

# robots.txt for http://www.example.com/
---------------------

User-agent: *
Disallow: /cyberworld/map/ # This is an infinite virtual URL space
Disallow: /tmp/ # these will soon disappear
Disallow: /.html

-----------------
hope this help..

 

or could add this meta tag to your download page
<meta name="robots" content="noindex,nofollow">

 

or use rel=nofollow or Javascript on the link.

ContentHub, I'd beware of the robots.txt example above because I'm not sure xAlexKimx knows your site's structure. Could really mess indexing up for you. Read up on robots.txt before adding it to your site.

 

adding those pages to your robots.txt file is the best solution for you

 

Hey guys,

Thanks for all your suggestions. I will probably try out adding the meta tag, as suggested by seo ranter.

Really appreciate all your quick responses,
EL
