I have recently took over the admin rights to my webpage from a company I had outsourced to create it, they however left the job undone and now my SEO sublinks are appearing in Portuguese.

I have researched how to block them being read by robots.txt however the links are all directing to my main page so when I block any link URL on robots.txt it also blocks my homepage from being read.

eg. example.com/#A%20Empresa will redirect to example.com/#A Empresa

Can anyone give me a hint as to what to do to remove these links or why it is happening?

The reason example.org/#anything redirects to example.org is quite easy. The browser always requests only the part before the #. The rest of the URL is the hash that points to any named link on the website. So your browser tries to find a link named A Empresa to scroll to after loading the page.

You cannot exclude those links in the robots.txt as long as you want the main page to be indexed, as you already found out.

In this article you should find out how to edit those sub links:


To demote a sitelink URL, follow these five steps:


Login to your Google Webmaster Tools account
On the Webmaster Tools Home page, click the site you want to edit.
Under Site configuration, click Sitelinks.
In the For this search result box, complete the URL for which you don't want a specific sitelink URL to appear.
In the Demote this sitelink URL box, complete the URL of the sitelink you want to demote.
