Robots meta / noindex
A per-page instruction to keep a page out of search results.
noindex keeps a page out of results, and nofollow tells crawlers not to follow its links. Watch out: if robots.txt blocks a page, crawlers never see its noindex, and a blocked page can still be indexed from links pointing at it.
