To prevent your questions from showing up on Google search results, you can use the "noindex" meta tag in the HTML code of your website. This will instruct search engines not to index your page, which means it won't appear in search results.
Yes, you can use the "noindex" meta tag on specific pages or sections of your website without affecting other pages. This allows you to control which pages you want to show up on search results and which ones you want to keep hidden.
Using the "noindex" meta tag will not directly affect your website's SEO. However, it is important to use it wisely and only on pages that you do not want to show up on search results. If used incorrectly, it could potentially harm your SEO.
Yes, there are other ways to prevent your questions from showing up on Google. You can also use the "robots.txt" file to block search engines from indexing specific pages or directories on your website. Additionally, you can use the "noindex" HTTP header to prevent indexing.
It can take anywhere from a few days to a few weeks for your questions to be removed from Google search results after using the "noindex" meta tag. This is because search engines need time to re-crawl and update their index. If you need the questions to be removed urgently, you can use the "remove outdated content" tool in Google Search Console.
