User-agent: * # The portal pages carry , and # that is deliberately NOT backed by a Disallow here. # # Disallow blocks CRAWLING, not INDEXING. A disallowed URL that anything links # to can still be indexed, and because the crawler may not fetch it, it can # never read the noindex telling it not to. That is exactly how /login was filed # as "Duplicate without user-selected canonical" - blocked from crawling, so its # canonical was never seen. Letting the crawler read these pages is the only way # it can learn to drop them. # # Only the API is disallowed: no HTML, nothing to index.
