Search Engine Indexing

S

Sunil Kakkar

Hi,

Many pages of my web site ( http://www.prekshana.com/prlinks/ )
designed on fp2000 are now appearing as indexed pages on prominent
search engines. I want to exclude these terminal pages from indexing
on search engine so that web site is traversed from the subweb or root
web index pages. Would rather prefer that only the main index page,
listing these pages in the subweb get indexed in the search engine.
What should I do now . Any help would be highly appreciated.

Add the following meta tag to the head section of each page, you don't want
index.

<meta name="robots" content="NOINDEX,FOLLOW">

However you will be reducing the ability for folks to find your site.

NoIndex = Do not index this page
Follow = Follow any links from this page
NoFollow = Do not follow any links from this page

One thing to try is putting the following tag anywhere in
your <head> section:

<META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="NONE">

This tells search engines to ignore the current page. Not
all search engines respect this but it's worth a try.

You can also rig pages to bounce the visitor elsewhere
unless they arrive at the current page by means of a link
within your site. Here's an example:

<script>
if (document.referrer.indexOf(document.location.host) < 0)
{
document.location.href="/"
}
</script>

This redirects visitors to your home page unless they
arrived at the current page by linking from another page
on the same server. So, if they jump in from a link on a
search engine, this code will send them to your home page.

However, the same redirection will occur if they come from
anywhere else, such as a Favorites link.
