Add noindex to search URLS
Posted: Mon Aug 19, 2019 12:55 pm
Hi,
1. We're an older site so 150 "search" pages are already in Google's index and we don't want them to be.
2. We can add a disallow in Robots.txt but that won't take the pages our of the index.
3. We read we should put a noindex on the search page but I'm not sure where (which page) that should go on. Once I can do that, I think Google will eventually drop the pages from the index then I can put the robots.txt disallow back in.
Where should the noindex tag go (which page)?
Thanks
Barb
