It appears that when you set Google visibility to YES, it'll grab a lot Smugmug junks such as xxx galleries xxx photos.. I found it in hard way and Smugmug helpdesk could never tell me why. What I found was that changing global visibility to Homepage only or No can avoid a lot of issues. If you only wanted Google to find your main page, here is what I suggest-

- Make global SEO Hello World setting to "Homepage Only"
- If you haven't already, update your website description and meta keywords. Description is more important. Google no longer looks at meta keywords.
- Make sure individual gallerie uses the global setting instead of overwriting it.
- To validate it, check a gallery's source code. If you do not want Google to find it, source code should say "<meta name="robots" content="noindex, nofollow, noarchive, nosnippet" />". And vers vesa.
- Wait a week and you should start seeing the differences. I found Google is pretty fast on indexing websites.

Hope it helps.

Thanks for all the advice! After checking results in different search engines it appears that Google still have older, cashed version of the description in it's search results, Bing and Yahoo do have a newer version which comes straight from my meta tags. Thanks again for all the help and advice!

I waited a month now. Google still sees the galleries that I absolutely do not want search engine visibility. See attached screenshot when Google search using keyword "ouki photo".

I have Global SEO set to HomePage ONLY. Please advise.

My "ouki photo" google search today does not show the portion of your screenshot within the red box. Have you cleared your cache?

Yes, it seems to be improving... I still see one gallery there. I'll see how it goes next week.
