How tell google to ignore a page?

**leonard55** · 12 January 2016, 04:18 AM

Instead of editing the robots.txt

[and thanks to naz and acorn for previously explaining how simple it is to do. and yes, i did it and it is simple]

Would it accomplish the same thing by setting in SEO options
How frequently the page may change: never.
The priority of that URL relative to other URL's on the site: 0 (zero).

I think technically that would mean that google would index it one time, and never again, but if it found duplicate content on another site of mine, that it may stop showing all results from site.
Or would it be that the duplicate content would never be found by google?

Thanks, leonard

I just paste this into the Head:

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

Then google and other search engines don't index it. I have been doing that for 15 years, and none of the pages have ever shown up in a search that I have done.

Otherwise you have to use Robots.txt file as mentioned by other users

Now I am curious - what is a "dynamic" website? Is that what Wordpress is?

What is a Xara website - is a Xara website always a static website?

Thanks.

Ed, Xara produces static content pages (as a rule); you can include "dynamic" (changing) content in these through Placeholders and Widgets.
Dynamic pages usually contain code and have filename extensions like ASP, JSP and PHP; static are usually HTM & HTML. Dynamic pages are run on a server and resulting HTML output posted to the browser.
Dynamic pages can handle user input (forms) and user databases for server-side content rendering. Wordpress is a content management system using a database to store and present variably sized and changed content.

Xara delivers "pixel-postioned" page content in a page that is fixed length.
Width changes now occur through adaptive Variants. Length changes can be made with JavaScript and CSS3 tweaks so there is a trade-off to make in simplicity or coding or product choice.
