Feed Page Appearing in Search Results

  • Whenever I search for my blog Crucis Road using Yahoo or Bing, the second entry that appears is my RSS feed page for some reason (crucisroad.com/feed). Is there a way to get rid of this?

    Also, if I search for my blog using the term ‘Crucis Road’ in Google, nothing comes up even though my blog has been active for over a month now. How do I get it to show up in Google?

    Thanks in advance! ??

  • You can try to discourage search engines to index your /feed/ “directory”. To do so, you will need to edit your robots.txt file (or create one if you don’t have one yet).

    The disallow: /feed/ should be included:

    User-agent: *
Disallow: /feed/

    If you are using a popular SEO plugin (like the Yoast SEO plugin) you should be able to edit your robots file from there. In that case, you will only need to add the following line:

    Disallow: /feed/

    Sorry, I’m kinda new to this – how do I create a robots.txt file if I don’t have one?
