Hi guys need some help please i found this info

If you want need to remove a URL from the Bing search results that you cannot or don't want to delete from your site as per Option 1, you can add a robots meta tag to your HTML source. Bing honors meta robots tags and adding <meta name="robots" content="noindex"> to your page source will ensure that the page will disappear from the index once it has been re-crawled and re-processed. When using the NOINDEX tag, your HTML header would look something like:

<html><head>
<meta name="robots" content="noindex" />
(?rest goes here?)
</head>
<body>?</body>
</html>

I guess i need to add this to a template anyone know where it goes?

You can do it as mentioned below ... But by doing this all search engines will stop indexing your site.

Add the code below to your headinclude or headinclude_bottom template.

<meta name="robots" content="noindex" />

You may add this to robots.txt file


User-Agent: bingbot
Disallow: /

Disallow it in your "robots.txt" file, where you can control the individual URL. If you just include it in your web page header you will have to use vbulletin conditionals.

See http://www.robotstxt.org/orig.html

Even if you do add the code to robots, or add the code to the page, these changes are NOT instant.

It takes time.

If you don't want your site to showup in search engines, close access off to guest.-
