Below is a google result for my site which is fine.

Along with the above google results I usually get two and sometimes three additional google results like the ones listed below. I would like to Noindex: or Disallow: the additional three returns. Nothing is hidden on the forums from visitors to the site. One concern is if a member of a community creates a topic or replies to a topic it would be for someone who visits the website not to be published on a google search result. Another concern is if someone ever does create a topic it may not be for a long time and the dates below may prevent someone from even going on the site. I feel the one return above is very clear about what someone would find if they decided to go on the site. I have tried every possible combination and configuration of forume, forum, topics, topic, *, $ and reply in my robots.txt file that I could think of or find without success. Any help with this would be appreciated.

I don’t have a blog or is it my intent to ever have one on the website. The post ‘Welcome to WordPress. This is your first post. Edit or…. is a draft and now password protected and continues to appear as a google earch result.
I addeded two items to my robots txt file in an attempt to remove the additional search results without success. .
Disallow: /category/uncategorized/
Disallow: /author/*
I then added two more items to my robots.txt file.
Noindes: /category/uncategorized/
Noindex: /author/*
Now using the google removal tool and google go fetch I can remove one of the above results but then the other appears in the search results. If I repeat the process I can remove the second search result but the first one is again back in the search result. I also don’t understand why google would index something that isn’t a page or post and make it a search result that returns Whoops, no result found!
I have now removed the post “Welcome to WordPress… from all my subdomains. Also I used the google removal tool and google go fetch but the google search results are for both the posts and for Forums and Topics. I don’t know how long it will take google to index my sub domains.
Any help with this would be appreciated.
