[jomin74]

Hi All,I have a page with the titleFunny charactersanother page as Funny Characters/VideosAlmost all data is same in both URL's except the videos page will have 20+ video thumbnailsHow can i set Google not to index the images only on this page and consider both pages as identical and not create any issues but yet scan the videos.Thanks

The canonical tags are the only thing that is really important. Next to that I'm not to sure if you should do nofollows.

Can i know what tags they are? and where exactly should we use them?

Hi Riccardo,

This seems quite a complicated situation - are you able to provide links to the pages specifically? And also, just so I understand, are the video thumbs themselves pointing to separate pages with the videos on - and, in such a case, are you primarily concerned about insuring those video pages get indexed?

If so, this should be achievable. All you'll need to do is an a  rel="canonical" tag on the video thumbs page pointing to the main version.

Sorry for the delay

Can i add Noindex to the videos page ?

How can i show the main version in the source where i mention noindex

I'm still not 100% sure I understand the situation, but yes you should be able to add a noindex tag to this page I imagine. If you ant Google to find the videos linked out to from this page, use the noindex,follow tag rather than noindex,nofollow
