How do I prevent you from indexing certain pages?

You can prevent the indexing of a particular page in the following ways:

Applying the "noindex" Meta Tag:

Place one of the following META tags in the <HEAD> section of your page:

    <META NAME="robots" CONTENT="noindex">
       or
    <META NAME="Slurp" CONTENT="noindex">

Yahoo! Slurp retrieves the document, but it does not index the document text.

Applying the "noindex" Directive:

Configure your web server to place the following directive in the HTTP header used to serve the page:

    X-Robots-Tag: noindex

Note: Although the document content is not indexed, the URL might remain in the search engine database as a reference link from other public web pages.
