    Remove Blog Release Date from Google Searches

    DandyDahlia Community Member

      Hi Everyone,

       

      We are noticing in webmaster tools / analytics that the blog posts we rank highly for that show an old date (e.g 4 years ago!) have a 0% click through rate - we think this is because they look "old" as they used to have a much higher click through!

       

      Does anyone know how we can keep the date showing on our website blog but hide it from Google searches?

       

      The code we currently use in the Blog Post List Layout is:


      <h4><span>Published on: <time datetime="{tag_blogpostdate}">{tag_blogpostdate}</time></span></h4> (in Blog Post Details Layout)


       

       

      If we just remove the <time datetime="{tag_blogpostdate}"> will it hide it from google searches?

       

      Any advice would be much appreciated
