Recently, one of our readers asked that if we can hide one of our WordPress site posts or pages from Google, which means hide from Google?
In other words, can we do something that does not index our page? Many times you have to hide the page from Google to keep your privacy safe or to keep the unwanted users out.
In this article, we will learn how you can hide a page from Google without affecting the entire SEO of your existing WordPress site.


Hide a Post or Page from Your WordPress Word from Google:

Google allows us to exclude whatever part of our content we want. You can do this easily by using your website's robots.txt file or by using HTML Meta tags.
I will tell you today in this post that you can do this by using two methods in WordPress. You can choose from these which prove to be good for you.
We will also tell you how to make your blog posts and pages password protected in WordPress.If you do not want to use the first two methods, by doing so, you can control the visibility of posts and pages for your users.

Method 1: Use Yoast SEO to hide any WordPress page from Search Engines

    The next thing you need to do is edit the post that you want to hide from Search Engines. Scroll down to the bottom of the post editor Yoast SEO Meta Box and then click on the Advanced Settings button.
    Advanced settings option allows you to embed meta tags robots on your blog posts or pages.By using Meta robots tags, you can tell the search engine that neither index nor follow this post or page.
    You can then save or publish your blog post or page.
    Yoast SEO plugin will add this line to your blog post or page.
    <meta name = "robots" content = "noindex, nofollow" />
    This line search engine simply states that neither follow nor index this page.

    Method 2: How to hide your Blog Post or Page from Search Engines by using Robots.txt.

    In this method, you have to edit the robots.txt file of your blog or website. If you give inaccurate information in this file then this can have a negative impact on the overall SEO of your site. For this reason, this method is not recommended for beginners.
    This robots.txt file is a configuration file that you can add to your WordPress site's root directory. This is to provide instructions to search engine bots, hence the name is a robots.txt file.
    You can edit your robots.txt file by connecting your website to an FTP client or even going directly to your web hosting 's cPanel.
    You need to add the lines given below in your robots.txt file.

    User-agent: *
    Disallow: / your page /

    User-agent line allows you to target specific bots. We use the asterisk sign to include all search engines.
    The next line is the URL of the part of your website that comes after your domain.
    So let's assume that you have to hide from the blog post search engines below.
    http://www.wikibeginner.in/2017/12/my-blog-post.html
    Here's how to add a URL to a robots.txt file to hide this post.

    User-agent: *
    Disallow: /2017/12/my-blog-post.htm

    Do not forget to save your changes and upload your robots.txt file again on your server.
    Disadvantages of using a robots.txt file to hide your content:
    The first thing you need to keep in mind is that the robots.txt file is publically accessible.Anyone can open it directly to know which pages you are trying to hide.
    Although many search engines follow the instructions of robots.txt file, many search engines simply ignore them. These are the bots that spread spamming on the web.

    Method 3. How to make your WordPress posts or pages password protected?

    This method is a different way. Instead of asking a search engine that posting is not an index, it only shows your post on those logs that have a password address.
    WordPress comes with the built-in feature of protecting your blog posts and pages. Simply edit your post or page that you want to protect.
    Click on the "Edit" link next to the Publish Meta Box, under the Visibility Option.
    This will show you the available visibility options on your WordPress blog. You can keep any post/page public, keep it private or you can password protect it.
    Private posts are only available to log in users, who have the editor's role on your WordPress site.
    Password protected posts Anyone who has a password will be able to see. You simply click on the password protected option and then enter a strong password.

    Now you can publish or save your post/page.
    Any visitor who now accesses this page/post on your website will have to fill in the password first and then it will be able to see the contents of your post / page.

    Getting more visitors to your website is crucial if you want to grow your website.
    If you have a website, you obviously want more visitors to your website every month than the month before.
    More visitors means (if your website is at least well-equipped) more turnover.
    But how do you get more visitors to your website? On this page, I give you 7 golden methods to get more visitors to your website as soon as possible.
    Hold on, because here we go!

    # 1: OPTIMIZE YOUR WEBSITE FOR GOOGLE

    One of the best methods I use to get more visitors is to optimize my website (s) for Google.
    Because I score higher and higher on Google, I get more and more visitors to my website (s).
    Every month the number of visitors comes from Google, and the nice thing about this is that these are visitors who come to my website for free.

    # 2: INSERT NEW CONTENT EVERY WEEK

    The best way to get higher in Google is by continuously placing new content on your website.
    By placing new content on your website every time, you always score more search terms in Google. As a result, Google sees your website scoring, and Google will always make you more valuable, and therefore higher in the search results.
    Placing new content is simple. Research which topics are interesting for your target group, and place articles about them. Exactly the same as what I did with this article.
    Chances are that you searched on Google for methods to get more visitors, and that is how you ended up on this page. This is also content, and every week I place new content on similar search terms. As a result, my website grows continuously and I get more and more visitors to my website.

    # 3: ADVERTISE ON GOOGLE / FACEBOOK / INSTAGRAM

    Another way to get more visitors to your website is by advertising on Google and social media.
    If you paid for visitors, it is of course not that difficult ;-).
    Setting up an advertisement is not difficult, and can provide visitors in no time. That in contrast to optimizing your website for Google, because that takes time.
    If you set up an ad on Google, Facebook, Instagram or another network today, you can already get hundreds or even thousands of visitors out there today.
    The art is of course that these visitors convert to customers and leads, otherwise, you are only spending money, and nothing comes in. That is of course not the intention!

    # 4: LET AFFILIATES PROMOTE YOUR PRODUCT

    A method that I successfully used to bring more leads and visitors to my website is through the use of affiliates.
    Affiliates promote my product in exchange for a commission.
    When someone buys my product via an affiliate, the commission receives a fixed amount per sale. Because of this, I only pay if there is a sale via the affiliate.
    Affiliates can provide a huge amount of visitors.
    You do well to think about putting your products on an affiliate network so that affiliates can promote your products, and thus provide more visitors, more leads and more sales.

    # 5: UPLOAD VIDEOS TO YOUTUBE

    Did you know that after Google, YouTube is the largest search engine in the world?
    You do well to upload videos to YouTube and refer to your website in the description of the videos.
    YouTube is good for a lot of visitors, and when many people watch your videos, a percentage of the viewers also visit your website.
    In addition, your visibility will improve, and your website will also become stronger (links to your website). Place the videos on your website in relevant articles, then you better score in Google and the visitors like this too. After all, people like to watch videos.
    So start creating a YouTube channel and place videos on it on a regular basis.

    # 6: START A FORUM

    A forum is to get a large stream of visitors to your website. By creating an open forum and introducing it to your target audience you can get a lot of user-generated content on your website.
    This content (topics and comments) are well indexed by Google and thus provide many extra free visitors to your website.
    The beauty of an open forum is that users easily respond to started topics and thus ensure content for all.
    With a forum, you also ensure that people keep coming back because they want to see if there is new content. If you organize the forum a bit nicer, this can become a big asset to your business.
    You are thus quickly seen as an authority; a forum contains a lot of valuable, useful content.

    # 7: BUILD UP YOUR OWN MAILING LIST

    By having and managing a mailing list, you can easily get a huge amount of visitors to your website ... if you really want to.
    When I send a mailing to my mailing list, I am assured of hundreds of visitors to my website (and thus my product) over the next hour.
    You do well to build a mailing list if you want more visitors.
    It is important that you have good give-away; a reason why people would leave their address on your website.
    By creating a landing page and sending visitors to it, you can collect a lot of leads in a short time.

    Online marketing is actually not that difficult. In this article, I explain what the foundation of an effective online marketing strategy is. One of the three spearheads is the generation of visitors, also called traffic, to your website. In this weblog, I give you twelve ways to get more visitors to your website.
    # 1. Write Good Articles (Content)One of the most effective ways to get more visitors to your website is by writing all the great articles. They say 'content is king'. The better your items are, the more likely visitors will find you. The reason for this is very simple. Search engines aim to offer people looking for something relevant information. When you write a good article that is relevant to users, chances are that a search engine provides your website to the one who searches. The better your items, the greater your chance of being found.
    # 2. Use social media to lead followers to your articles many entrepreneurs have all kinds of social media profiles without thinking about an effective strategy to deploy them. And that's a pity, because probably you can get a lot more from your social media if you think about it strategically. Begin with the end goal in mind. the ultimate goal should be to make sure someone visits my website, finds relevant information for him, and then takes the desired action (conversion). So think about how you can use your twitter, facebook, youtube, Pinterest or linkedin account to bring visitors to a specific page on your site.

    # 3. Make use of Facebook Comments A very effective way to get more visitors to your website is to use Facebook Comments on your website. Through this system, visitors can respond to the articles you have written. Comments on a specific article will then automatically appear on the timeline of the person in question. People from the circle of friends who responded will see that your website exists and may be clicked. Do you have WordPress? Then it's very easy to use facebook comments: there's a special plugin for making it easy.
    # 4. Put a specific link in your email signature how many emails do you send on average per day? If you get the same volumes, then I could just be hundreds. And under each email you can (automatically) link to your website. Because many people now have their website under an email signature, it is very effective to insert a piece of text with a link to a specific article or page. For example, a text like: "More visitors? Read here 12 ways to get more visitors to your website. "

    # 5. Sending a Newsletter Getting visitors is one thing, making sure visitors return is something different. One of the strategies to ensure that existing visitors return to your website by creating a newsletter. For example, send your customers an email with the three most read articles once a month and you will notice that many of your newsletter readers will visit your website.
    # 6. Buy traffic and you know that your visitors can simply buy? Via programs like Adwords, Facebook Ads or Linkedin Ads you can create small ads. You only pay when people click on your link and so it's a very effective way to get targeted visitors to your website. Only people who want to know more about what you offer them (and what's in the ad) will click on your website.
    # 7. Write a guest blog Guest blogs are a great way to create more brand awareness on the web. When you write an interesting article on someone else's website, you will be seen as an expert immediately. Additionally, by writing a guest blog, you reach a wider audience than when writing on your own website. Ask people from your network if you can write a guest blog for them. That's win-win: they get a good article without having to do anything and you get more brand awareness.
    # 8. Use a QR code on your business card.You may have heard of a QR code. That's such a square with a black border around it and seemingly random cubes. Such a QR code makes it easy to add and add to your business card. When someone gets your business card, he only has to scan him with his smartphone and he will be right on your website. This is useful, for example, to direct people directly to a page where they can subscribe to a newsletter. Create a QR Code yourself? This can be found free of charge on this website .
    # 9. Send a personal mail to your network even more effective than writing a guest blog is sending a real personal mail to your network. Have you written a relevant article? Send an email to people who you think they are having a problem with. When your article is good enough, your relationships will forward your article to others.
    # 10. Be active on forums, facebook and linkedin groupsDid you know that hundreds of thousands of people are active every day in the most diverse groups? In what industry you are: Also in your industry there are various user groups that you can contribute to. Respond to articles and questions from other people and enter into dialogue with them. This makes them curious about who you are. As a result, the chance is that they are looking for your website.
    # 11. Create videos via Youtube and add a link to your site. You probably already know that you can upload videos to Youtube. But did you know that you can add a link to your website via Youtube? This is also called an "annotation" and through this link you will learn how to add annotations to your videos in a few steps.
    # 12. Respond to blog posts (like this!)The last but certainly not the least way to get more visitors to your website is by responding to blog posts. It is especially important that you add value. If you read a blog article somewhere and you have suggestions or additions yourself, it's very effective to respond. If your response is good enough, other readers will click on the website you filled in and you will get extra visitors. Add the act directly to the word? Leave your comment below and tell me which ways you already use to drive more traffic to your website!
