How do I...hide pages from search engines?

I have some junk/test pages, and some pages I just use as templates. I want Google to ignore these pages. I think the key is a "Not follow" tag-? Will putting the below in the header of each web page I want to hide do the trick? <meta name="robots" content="noindex, follow"> Thank you! |

| you probably want to change follow to nofollow. remember robot text is a recommendation, google and most search engines will usually obey, but many bots will ignore it. you want to put it in the Head area. go to list on left and click on the site name, you will see a field for Head code, then it will be site-wide. | |

| Could going to Inspecter and un-clicking "Include page in navigation window" work? | |

| I do not think so. I believe unchecking that box leaves it out of the Navigation, but they are still there as web pages to be indexed, but hidden from users unless you linked to them | |

This tag contains two separate instructions ... <META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="NOINDEX, NOFOLLOW"> "NOINDEX" tells the spiders not to index the page and "NOFOLLOW" instructs them not to follow any links on the page. The above can also be written like this... <META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="NONE"> ------------------------------- Roddy Website: http://everwebwidgets.com Contact: http://everwebwidgets.com/ewWidgets-home/contact.html NOTE: I am an EverWeb user and NOT affiliated with EverWeb!
