Getting outdated sub-pages out of the index.

Is this correct

[a1call]

Hi,
I have a whole lot of old sub-pages in the Google index.
I want to get them out by a robots meta tag.
Would including:
<meta name="robots" content="noindex,nofollow">
in the head section of each and everyone of the old pages achieve this without affecting my new pages in the index?
Is the syntax correct?

Thanks for the help in advance

Yep that syntax looks correct.

but if you want them to show in other indexes, like other SE's etc then use the following to exclude only google.

<META NAME="GOOGLEBOT" CONTENT="NOINDEX, NOFOLLOW">

Hey A1,

Yes your code looks correct, I just used it and it worked great. Google spidered my unwanted pages, and dropped them from the index.

<meta name="robots" content="noindex,nofollow">

Hi Mike12345,
Hi greenfrog,

Thanks for the confirmation. I decided to go with:
<meta name="robots" content="noindex,follow">
I do not want them indexed anywhere as they are outdated.
Thanks again
