Thanks, will try this out. I'm just wondering if there doesn't exist some build in Umbraco property for this kind of situation. Can't image I'm the only one having to deal with this problem :)
Yes it is quite annoying specially when google index some pages which in fact is only a folder without any template in your umbraco content.
What i usually do is add a 302 umbracoRedirect to the folder. So whenever google index this folder and you can just click on the url which will redirect to the first or selected node.
how to stop Google from following nodes
Hi,
As you can see in the screenshot of my content section, I'm using year folder nodes for the organization of publications in the Umbraco backoffice.
these yearfolder nodes (2013, 2012, 2011) don't have a template, their just for organizational purpose.
However, seems that Google is tracking them and reporting them as 404 errors:
Is there a way to prevent Google from following these 'organizational' nodes?
Thanks for your help,
Anthony
Hi Anthony,
May be you could try adding a field to your Node where you can change the meta name Robot and instead have
and where you by default have the other node

yes, I think the umbracoRedirect field is the best solution. I tried out the:
solution,
but the problem is that a node without template generates a 404 error when clicked on, and the url request gets redirected to a custom 404 page.
So I think I'll stick with the umbracoRedirect solution.
Thanks for your help Fuji
