Hi,

I don't want some of my web pages appear in search engine results. Is
there anyway to indicate search engine not to crawl those pages (by
adding any tags)? Thanks in advance.

Thanks for your prompt response. I should have explained my scenario
better.

The page is dynamic which accepts an id in querystring,

e.g. product.asp?id=1.

I want some products appear in the search results, but I don't want
some of them appear in the results (They are exclusive to some
customers).

Thanks in advance.

Regards,
Sreedhar

Thanks for your response. What is the meta tag that tells search
engine not to index that page? Please let me know.

Yes. Use a robots.txt file in your primary site directory (it
only works in the root directory of the site).

There are robots meta tags.

You can get information about that at:
http://www.robotstxt.org

The robots.txt file info can be seen at:
http://www.robotstxt.org/robotstxt.html

The meta tags are displayed at:
http://www.robotstxt.org/meta.html

Regards,



Fred

Well, since the page is being dynamically generated to display
different products, the simplest option is to add a line of code that
puts the appropriate meta tag into the headers for products that you
don't want to be indexed.

That's in the page referenced by Fred Atkinson, in the post to which
you responded. Follow the links he gave you, and all will become
clear.
