Re: robots.txt and metatag question

Try this in your robots.txt file. This will not allow ANY spider to index that page. For more information on how to use the robots.txt file, see the link at the end of this post.

User-agent: *
Disallow: /index.php?main_page=page&id=5&chapter=4

For more information on how to use the robots.txt file. I would go that route to disallow engines from indexing the pages you want. It is easier to maintain and a standard in the industry.

Good luck!
