Under these circumstances you should choose not to include the page in the site map. If you've done so, the sitemap indicators for the excluded page will look like the images below. Other site map settings have become irrelevant and are not displayed.
Robot Instructions:Robot instructions are displayed like the following, with the indexing instructions first and the following instructions second.
If robot instructions are not used, this will be indicated as follows:
To change robot instructions, click on Edit Meta Tags.
