I search and read many post for 1 month, but i can't find any help full material for my problem...

In my website there is only 2000 pages, but when i search my site in google site:collectioncoupons.com google show me 9000 pages.

URL looks like that,

domain.com/store/3
...
domain.com/store/2000
i want to remove pages from domain.com/stores/1 to domain.com/stores/1600

But how i remove all 1600 pages without removing stores directory?

Please tell me one more thing, when i search my domain with site: google show results 9,490 but i have only 2000 pages, so what are other 7,490 pages?

Answer 1

You can tell Google to allow the /store directory, but not /store/???. For example, in your robots.txt file:

User-agent: Googlebot
Allow: /store$
Allow: /store/$
Disallow: /store/

This tells Googlebot that /store and /store/ are allowed. The $ at the end means, "end of url." But if you have /store/1 or /store/ followed by anything else, then disallow it.

I don't know the answers to your other questions. Perhaps there are alternate URLs to your pages, or URLs that have query string parameters. You have the search results, why not look at the URLs that Google is reporting and see how the URLs differ?
