I got a few duplicated pages that i would like to disallow. The pages are this: http://www.sitename.ext/cat/sports/1 http://www.sitename.ext/cat/music/1 http://www.sitename.ext/cat/movies/1 Will this ( Disallow: /cat/*/ ) remove all those links but leave indexed these? http://www.sitename.ext/cat/sports http://www.sitename.ext/cat/music http://www.sitename.ext/cat/movies
NO! Don't do that, you'll disallow all of them! What you need to do is this: Disallow: /cat/sports/* Disallow: /cat/music/* Disallow: /cat/movies/* This will disallow this page: http://www.sitename.ext/cat/sports/1 but allow indexing of this page: http://www.sitename.ext/cat/sports
Yes but i have like 10 categories, and i would like a disallow in one line for all together not all the 10 lines, is it possible? Thanks.
You can use the Google Webmaster tools to play around with different combos of wildcards, but I don't think there's any easy way to do it since your unwanted URLs are so similar to the wanted URLs.
just Login to Google webmaster verify your website there and just visit the tool section and do whatever you want to do.
