I have a website, and on my 'work' page I have a series of links to some other pages that I don't want indexed.

I was told that I have to put:

<meta name="GOOGLEBOT" content="noindex,nofollow">
<meta name="ROBOTS" content="noindex,nofollow">

On every page I don't want indexed. But this seems like quite a chore, and more so as I will have to remember to do this to each page that I link to on my 'work' page.

If I were just to put those tags on my 'work' page, will that mean google and others won't follow the links I put on there? And also, and more importatnly will it effect my website being indexed? i.e. if google goes to the index page first, then to my 'work' page, sees the meta tags, and leaves...

Hope that makes sense!.. Thanks for any input :)
 
with that way you hope that all the robots will read the meta - often not the case.

you could put your files in a separate folder and put .htaccess on it, which stops it at server level with a username and password.
