How do you make sure a page doesn't get indexed?

    At the bottom of every page and post, the Yoast SEO plugin shows a snippet of what people would see in the search engines for that page. But, I have some pages that I don’t want to be indexed in the search engines like my confirmation page and my download page.

    So do I just need to go into the advanced tab of Yoast SEO, and set it to noindex, and no follow? Is that all I do, or is there something else I need to do to make sure a page doesn’t get indexed? Because even though I did that, it’s still showing a snippet of what people would see in the search engines in the content tab of Yoast SEO. You would think that would disappear.

  • Open your page or post what you want to no indexing. Scroll down to the SEO information of Yoast. Click at the left site on advande and change “meta-robots index” to noindex.

    I recommend you to use the follow option by the meta-robot follow. Because the search enginize will follow all your intern links ??

    Yeah, but why would you want the search engines to follow the links on your confirmation page and download page?

    Because you have maybe another links at this page. For example a link to your homepage, contact page or sales page. Google loves internal links, so it’s good for your SEO of your full website. Google (and other search engines) didn’t show your confirmation and download page in the search results. This is possible because you set this page at noindex ??
