    Searchable/unsearchable pages.

    Hi Everybody,
    Please help.

    Mine is a music site. There are (will be) about 50 pages on it - individual songs (1 song per page) and various directories.

    I think I would do very well with only my main page (home? index?), plus perhaps a few more, appearing - and well searchable - on SEs.
    No need to go into every single page - you will get there by navigating my homepage. (?)

    Since I've been working on this for two months, Google has already made every single page searchable. (Which, I assume, will disappear if I remove them from my c-panel?)

    In the future, how can I render pages unsearchable?

    You can add code like

    <meta name="robots" content="noindex" />
    in between the <head> </head> tags

    or to the html code of each link to pages you don't want indexed

    rel="nofollow"

    Deleting the page won't make the SE's immediately know that the page was removed, there will be search results that go to dead pages until the SE crawls your site and realizes its no longer there

    Do you use a Password Protected Directory? Need a way to allow users to make their own account, try my .htaccess Login Script

      Thanks Watdaflip,

      So, it would look like:
      <A href="http://www.gabor-music.com/iloveyou.html.rel="nofollow">http://www.gabor-music.com/iloveyou.html.rel="nofollow" ?? (Say, for my individual music files. Will they remain accessible thru my homepage navigation?)

      (I'm only using the standard, basic BV/VH formats and procedures)
