    HI GUyz,

    How do i remove a single Dynamic url from Google., We have millions of listings on our site most are member urls., Some members complain to remove the urls after they delete the profile.

    Url format is like:
    ourdomain.com/cgi-bin/view.php?id=Af3333

    Regards.,
    Sarathy.s

    This would be achieved using .htaccess rather than robots.txt. You could try posting your question in the apache forum.

    Hi,

    I would use this line in these pages :
    <meta name="robots" content="noarchive">
    Code (markup):
    This disallows search engines to show a cache (= archived version) for these pages, but the pages are normally indexed.

    It means that the page will be indexed as long as it exists and it will not be available anymore in the search engine when it has been deleted (deleted profile).
