Hello all,

I have a client with a password-protected page where they post PDF reports for their team. Their PDFs are getting indexed by Google and are starting to show up in searches. Is there a simple way to Noindex a PDF in SiteJet?

@Martin.Sitejet.Team  
@Andre

Thanks!

Hey @David_McArdle,

did you set the password-protected site to Noindex? And how is the PDF implemented? With a document element?

The page is password protected behind a MemberStack required login and the pages are tagged as NoIndex.

The link to the PDFs are through a row of boxes using the boxes preset. So when you click on a box it opens the PDF.

@David_McArdle Do you see the option to set a “Relationship” under “Link” in the boxes of your setup? If yes, you can select “nofollow” there which should avoid indexing the PDFs in search engines

Thank you, Franzi, this is exactly what I needed. I thought I checked there, but I didn’t see the nofollow option.

Thanks!
