Prevent 404 error page not found SEO

Hi

How can I make www.mysite/m/articles/view/ not indexed by Google but www.mysite/m/articles/view/anyarticle to get indexed. Can I use <meta name="robots" content="noindex, follow"> and if so in which file should I add the meta tag. 

 

The link www.mysite/m/articles/view/ gives a 404 error and it also applies to other modules that use /view/ without a subsequent page name.

I'm using 7.1.4

You use the robots.txt file to control how a robot will crawl; and index, your site.  Go here to learn; and of course search for others on the net as well: http://www.robotstxt.org/  Now of course only the good bots will follow the robots.txt file but I am guessing you are more concern with Google and Bing.

Hi

Thanks for your answer. I all ready use robots.txt to prevent unwanted index. But if I make an Disallow: /m/articles/view/ in robots.txt it means that Google will not index /m/articles/view/ and it's entire content. I want google to not index /m/articles/view/ and index all articles like /m/articles/view/anyarticle

I suppose I can't use

Disallow: /m/articles/view/

Allow: /m/articles/view/*.*

Regards

Google does allow a * as a wild card, but not *.*


However

Disallow: /m/articles/view/
Allow: /m/articles/view/*

The Allow will cancel the Disallow out. Seems googbot does not take the / into consideration. So it does not work.

Hi and thanks

Then I'll have to do a meta with noindex and follow. Do you now in which file I can add this.

I have your Head injection module but there I have to put in the side titel and not the URL. Something for you to develop perhaps

Yes, url matching is planned fro the next version.

You can still use a head injection.

Use this as a title to match.

Page was not found

That will catch all of the page not found pages, not just /m/articles/view/ but it's better that way anyway. This way google will not index any of them.

Thank you.

I'll try that until next upgrade of your head injection which is an excellent mod by the way.
