Hello,
Please refer to the link in private content. I found there are lots of the tag archive pages and portfolio categories base pages were indexed by google, but actually I think the layout of these pages are no good for user experience for my business website. I want to remove these pages, how should I do?
Is it workable that if I write the rules in robots.txt to disallow the /tag/ & /categories/ ? And does it make any effect to google index or ranking?Hey Enffie!
You can easily do this by using a SEO plugin like Yoast and disallow the search engines to index the pages or posts.
Please check the link below
Cheers!
VinayHi, Vincy
Thanks for your suggestion. But I am not very understand it.
If I add the following single line to .htaccess file:
Header set X-Robots-Tag “noindex, nofollow”Does that mean I need to cancel my robot.txt file at all? And will it have the effect to entire site can be indexed, but will never be shown in the search results?
But what I only want to disallow the /tag & /categories pages not to be shown in the goggle search results. Finally, I found some setting in the Yoast’s SEO dashboard and I enable the Meta robot setting like below:
Do you think it is ok if I enable these setting?
Hey!
We like to help you with this but SEO is out of our support scope. However this is a simple one so we can surely point you in the right direction. As far as i know you only have to check the noindex option and update your page/post in wordpress for it to be added in the robots.txt file.
After that there are several way’s and google webmaster tools allow you to check if it is working correctly it is a completely different topic all together but if you are interested to know search for video tutorials on youtube for “webmaster tools” also if you have have issue with the SEO plugin you can check the plugin author site and support topics to know how others are doing it.
Please feel free to contact us if you have any questions.
Regards,
Vinay
