I have buttons and links in my Register page that allow me to log in with gmail and linkedIn. In order for these links not to be indexed, they have been indexed even though I have blocked them in the robot.txt
file. How can I give these links a noindex tag?
here is the link that I need to block: example.com/connect/linkedin
Note: I don't want to prevent my register page from being indexed, so I don't use noindex
in the <meta>
tag. I am developing my website with Symfony framework.

can be used to tell crawlers not to crawl those links, but since your pages are already indexed Google might do whatever they want at this point. try blocking the page itself from bots \ google, through the PHP code.
