I was under the impression that if you included the following on a web page (instead of the usual meta tags), that these pages would not be indexed by search engines:
META name="robots" content="noindex, nofollow"
Was I wrong?[nbsp][nbsp]I just tried searching for one of my sites and the first page to come up in 3rd place was myparentime.com/images:
My ParenTime-Error 403 - Sorry, Directory Browsing Not Allowed!
Now I'm confused?!?
=====
On just the first page of results I have links to my site, but -- they're not the pages I'd like them to be.[nbsp][nbsp]For ie: there's a link to my site from the error page (above), from my page when it was on angelfire (about 3 yrs ago), and a link from links2go, then there's a link to one of my "about us" pages.[nbsp][nbsp]I guess I should be thankful any of my pages show at all, but if these pages show up, why can't my main page show up above these?
