I have noticed over the past couple of weeks that Google is ranking all sort of eJunkie pages when I run test searches on my sites and products. I am finding old shopping carts (with products loaded), my ejunkie profile, my ejunkie "Shop" (which I don't want to use,) even ejunkie community forum posts...



I really don't like this. I don't want my customers knowing about my shopping cart problems etc... Is there a way to "no index" tag my ejunkie pages?



This is a major problem for me. I know you can't control what Google thinks is relevant but this type of ranking is not good for me, it just confuses my customers and make you look bad.



Thoughts?

You don't have any products listed in your E-junkie Marketplace Shop, so nothing should be coming up there.



You may want to change your Display Name (in Seller Admin > Profile) to something obscure or generic unrelated to any terms your customers would be Googling for, since that's the name that appears in the header of your E-junkie Marketplace Shop page and Bio page, which are the only pages we have for you.



Aside from this forum thread, you only have one other discussion in the forum, and you're welcome to edit or delete that (using the "Edit this topic" link) or have us do so for you.



It shouldn't be possible for Google's search bots to access a cart at all, and any cart's contents should only last for 24 hours anyway, so we can't imagine how any cart could be coming up in search results; indeed, we were unable to find anything like that in the several searches we tried for you. Perhaps if you could explain the exact search terms you're using that led to that result, we could figure out what's going on there.

"Edit this topic" only appears under the very first post; that should allow you to delete the entire thread. I've already done so for the only other discussion you had in the forums here.
