Hello,

I want to prevent some pages of my site from being indexed. To do this, I inserted a meta tag a week and a half ago 
<meta name="robots" content="noindex">
on each page, but I now realize that they are still indexed by Google.

Configuration: Windows 7 / Firefox 21.0

    Good evening,

    Did you properly place the tag within the "head" tags of your page?
    It often takes a bit of time for the Googlebot to revisit your site, especially if it doesn't generate much traffic.
    Otherwise, if you don't have many pages to remove, you can specify them in the robots.txt file.
    For those you want to remove from Google, you can submit a request

      I inserted this in my HTML pages in the <head>. I don't understand why to create a robots.txt? Isn't inserting the meta tag in the HTML pages sufficient?

      Normally yes, but the bot will first look for the existence of a robots.txt file, just to have a complete list of links to process.
      This prevents it from having to search each page of the site.
      In any case, I encourage you to request the removal of the pages that are still indexed; they should not reappear.
