To prevent Google from indexing specific pages on your website, you can use the "noindex" meta tag. This tag tells search engines not to include the page in their index. Here's an example of how to use it in HTML:
<head><meta name="robots" content="noindex"></head><h1>This page will not be indexed by Google.</h1><p>Content of the page...</p>
In the above example, the <meta> tag with the attribute name="robots" and content="noindex" is placed within the <head> section of the HTML document. This tells search engines, including Google, not to index the page.
Additionally, you can use the "nofollow" attribute for specific links on your page to prevent search engines from following those links. This is useful if you have pages that you don't want to be discovered through other pages. Here's an example:
<a href="page-to-be-excluded.html" rel="nofollow">Link to excluded page</a>
In this example, the rel="nofollow" attribute is added to the <a> tag, indicating that search engines should not follow the link to the "page-to-be-excluded.html".
It's important to note that while using these tags can help prevent indexing, they are not foolproof. Some search engines may still choose to index the page, especially if they discover it through other means.
For more information on controlling how search engines index your site, you can refer to the official documentation provided by Google: Prevent Google from indexing specific pages.
Remember to regularly check your website's robots.txt file and use other methods, such as password protection or user authentication, for more secure restrictions on content access.
