  Greg Kristan: Sorry for all the posts!
  
  If I have a set of pages in the Robots.txt that I want to ;Disallow but they are still being indexed by Google, should I add the NOINDEX meta tag to the page?
  
  There is a discussion internally about if we need to or not
  
  I am thinking we need to add this code ;because some of these pages rank and are found when you use an advanced search operator
  
  Love to hear everyone's thoughts!

  Ryan Decorsie Ewen: I think the best solution is dissallow via robots.txt and NOINDEX on pages and rel=nofollow on any links that point to those pages to maximise your link juice.

  Archie Watt: The robots.txt file is about preventing crawling, which isn't the same thing as indexing.
  
  If you block a page in robots.txt and also have a noindex meta tag, Google won't be able to crawl the page to see that you're asking them not to index it.
  
  So in short, remove the robots.txt block & add a noindex meta tag.
