How to Hide Drupal Site from Google?

Question

I have a website, and I use Drupal for CMS. i.e. I write articles in mysite.com/drupal/ but I display them in mysite.com/show_article.php?article_id=x&article_name=y (actually mysite.com/article/x/y with .htaccess RewriteRule) by loading the content from Drupal database.

However, when I search for an article in google, mysite.com/drupal/node/x/y appears as the result, but mysite.com/article/x/y doesn't.

so I guess I need to add some <google nofollow> tags in drupal's php pages, but which ones? or is there an easier configuration setting for this?

Thanks !

robots.txt:

User-agent: *
disallow: /drupal/

Then you'll want to submit an index for mysite.com/article to Google. It sounds like you won't be able to use XML sitemap for this however.

That should be all you need to do what you need. Of course the obvious question (if I understand what you're doing) is why you're using custom php to serve up Drupal content from the same domain, and not just doing this in Drupal.
