I wonder if anyone can put me right please.

I dont want some of my pages indexed in google. Reason being another site wants to use my pages for my 'widgets' and get a commission on them.

Google will obviously note this as dupe content. If I put the robot tag in will it skip the pages or the domain ie 'mydomain.com/widgetsforothersites'.

Thanks

Hello Nixonuk,

There are a couple of ways to do this. Check this out Robots [searchengineworld.com] and decide what works best for you. If I understood your post, you want to give up your original content so some someone else can benefit from it. Plan carefully.

Thanks. I will take a look at that link.

Basically Site A wants to use my pages with his own referral code in them (rather than mine). I am happy to do this as it gets my site name out there as it retains my branding and its a very big auth site/

However I have noticed that sometimes google is showing the page I made for him rather than mine. I would prefer it if none of the pages I do for him come up in Google but mine do etc.

Trying to avoid dupe content is usually a good idea. One other option would be to set the ROBOTS meta tag to NOINDEX on the pages you don't want SEs to index.

RogerD will that just hide the pages I put that into. I mean will it affect the main domain?
