   Hello,
   I am getting the wp-login.php page as a result when I google for my partner's blog. Not sure why this would happen?
   the blog in question is at http://www.sandrinesparis.com
   so when you google Sandrine's Paris
   http://www.google.co.uk/search?q=sandrine%27s+paris&hl=en&start=50&sa=N
   you get a bunch of other results, and among them
   http://www.sandrinesparis.com/wp-login.php
   rather than just plain http://www.sandrinesparis.com

   is there any way to prevent this?
   I know google can be funny when indexing pages, but maybe someone knows why this is happening?
   many thanks
   pedro

   I looked through the google results you linked to, and do not see a link to that sites login page -- that said I didnt go through every result, so I'll take your word for it.

   why this is happening?

   Thats why I looked through the google search results. The why is very simple -- at some point, possibly while there was another theme running on that site Googlebot followed a link to wp-login.php.

   Thats the way spiders work -- they follow links.

   if you dont want that page OR other pages indexed, use a robots.txt file.
