Page is noindex

[mtthompsons]

Hi,

We set pages with this and i can see in the view source of the page

<meta name="robots" content="noindex"/>

We had a new page posted in the site and its indexed by Google but now the new post is visible on a page thats shows partial data which we noindexed as above because its duplicate data and search engines dont have to see it

But its still crawling

Any ideas?

Block the page in robots.txt as well and go into Webmaster Tools and request URL removal and they will remove the URL from the Google index.

As we have 10K+ pages indexed already we set as Noindex and expect the search engines to drop off those pages after which we can block via Robots.

if i do the indexed pages will not be dropped right?

Also URL removal request for 10K pages 1 by 1 is going to be tedious
