How to Hide a Particular website page URL from Search engines?


  1. My project is an E-commerce website that It contains lot of static and dynamic pages. I want to hide only one page from Search engines. If any one search that text then it need not display on search engine like "Google","Yahoo" etc.

http://www.mysitename.com/users/download/id

The above url need to hide in search engines.

If any one searching my mysitename then above link also displaying in Google search as of now. what i can do for this ?


Solution

  • Add a file robots.txt in your website root directory with the following contents:

    User-agent: *
    Disallow: /users/download/id
    

    This approach basically tells the Search Engine not to index /users/download/id.

    This doesn't mean every Search Engine will do that, but most of the modern Search Engines will take in consideration that file.
