    sitemap and duplicate content question

    I have a website that due to its setup has duplicate content pages that I can not remove.. I am going to rig something up to noindex them but I have a question about sitemaps...

    If I make and submit a sitemap to google will the goog disregard what is not in the sitemap?

      No

      Best to put noindex tags on those pages, or canonical links to point to your preferred version, or include which pages should not be indexed in your robots.txt file.

              If the pages in question haven't been indexed I think you can use the robots.txt file to tell it not to crawl them.

              But if they have, forget it, you need to "noindex" them...

              :D
