Prevent mobile site from appearing in the sitelinks of desktop search

[shebinhassan]

Hi,

IWe have this mobile page that keeps on appearing in the google search. I even try to put it in the robots.txt to disallow the crawler but still it keeps on popping on the search results.

How can I prevent it from displaying?

Actually we are using a cms and what we do is just to redirect it a different page. like mHome.aspx which means that it is a mobile site. Yes put mobile on the title tag.

If you want to remove that page quicker from the index you can do that through wem master tools. Although I am not sure you want to do that as if the page is blocked from google it will not be able to show up in the mobile search neither. Wehn optimizig for mobile it is good to put contet on a different sub (ex: mobile.sg) and also put mobile to the end of the title tags.Do you do all this stuff to indicate google what is that content for?

Adding the "noindex" meta tag to the page will stop Google and Bing/Yahoo from indexing the page, and it will cause them to remove the page from the index if it has already been added.

It is important you remove the block from the robots.txt file because the search engines wont crawl the page to see the changed meta tag while it is blocked with robots.txt.
