I Recently started a community and discussion forum in joomla using jomsocial. Lots of pages getting indexed in google with duplicate title tags and meta description. This may affect my Search engine ranking. I would like to block google from indexing only my community pages not the articles. How do i do it. Please someone help.
Can you please tell how to create robot.txt to block specific pages. I want to block google from accessing both discussion forum and jomsocial community. Also i would like to display adsense ads on these page. Please help.
duplicate Pages’s are getting created like this below with same title tags - For the Discussion forum.
Well, with robots.txt you can tell the bot not to index a particular set of specific urls or a whole series of them
