Woocommerce noindex products kontra Google.
Erik D. asked 8 years ago
I dont want Google to index my product pages on my affiliate side because it will give duplicate content.
I did noindex the products via Yoast seo plugin but i can see that Google anyhow mass index my products and this is not good.
Now an thinking of use social login to hide these pages for Google.
Do you think this is a good idea or do you think that Google after a while will start to respect my noindex-
Kindly regards Erik

Google can be slow to follow the noindex rule – you can check yourself that all your links have nofollow added to them by Yoast as well as meta-data to the actual product pages (noindex).
Google WILL respect your noindex settings after a while.
Sorry for the late reply – we made wholesale changes to our support functions – integrating them with Jira etc. this has caused a bit of a backlog – that we are working through now, and set to be right on top of moving forward. š
