: Reduce or remove search engine ranking for mirrored (via RSS) content I have a site which publishes blog articles at http://www.scichart.com/news The site has an RSS feed at http://www.scichart.com/feed
I have a site which publishes blog articles at www.scichart.com/news
The site has an RSS feed at www.scichart.com/feed and the RSS feed is consumed by a support-ticket system: support.scichart.com/
This is necessary because some users only visit the support site and I want them to see the latest news. However ...
Google prioritises links on the support site over the main site. I want to prioritise the main site (in fact, ignore RSS generated news articles on the support site) in search engines.
Example:
Google "scichart upgrade from v3"
I want the article on the main site to come up in google, but instead the article on the support site comes up first.
I have google webmaster tools set up + FTP access to both sites. How can I tell Google to ignore anything that starts with support.scichart.com/index.php?/News/ ?

You should implement meta rel link canonical tags on the duplicate pages syndicated from the RSS feeds.
The page on your support site should have tag that looks like:
<link rel="canonical" href="https://example.com/news/news-story.html" />
That points the article back to the original. When Googlebot sees this tag, it will know that the two pages are duplicate and that you would prefer to have the main one indexed because you have marked it as canonical.
