I've made a website with visual site designer and photo gallery, used sitemapper, submitted web url to google and bing.

My website now shows up on a google search, but it is listing every individual page on the website as a new one, instead of just the home page. What do I need to do to stop this please?

I titled each page in vsd but haven't sorted meta tags yet, as I slowly unravel confusion. Please can anybody help, my site is:

Place this at the head of each page that you don't want to the search engines to index.:)
<meta name="robots" content="noindex,follow">
I can't hear what I'm looking at.
It's easy to overlook something you're not looking for.

Actually there is an advantage to different pages being indexed by Google as people can find by the topic of your page, so different pages can be found on Google for each topic.

You need to run Sitemapper again and check that the pages you changed the Meta Tags in are not included in the sitemap. Then upload the new sitemap and upload it to your server, Google and Bing will update the copy they have.

Really, there is no point submitting your sitemap if you only have your index file in it.
