Default <META name="robots" content="NOINDEX, NOFO

I've just added that meta tag to the site I have with duplicate content on it. I placed <META name="robots" content="NOINDEX, NOFOLLOW"> on both the index.html and sitemap.html pages. Got the wording right, didn't I?

Should this satisfy Google and make them stop penalizing my main site for duplicate content. What I eventually want to do is get a site up for each of my three major market areas, (Indy, Cincy and Dayton, OH), each focused on that local market...all with different content. But, I got in a hurry and put them up the same and did so too quickly.

I'm trying to get my PR and SERP results up on my main site. Later, after I've done this. I may spend the time to change the content on the second site and take that tag back out again.

Is there any way that you can just tell Google not to index or follow and still allow the other robots to do so on the second site? Just another thought that was bouncing around my head.

thanks,
iceman

You can do this using a robots.txt file. You can stop Google from indexing a whole site doing this
Code:
# Do not allow Google to index 
User-agent: Googlebot
Disallow: /

# Allow all other robots
User-agent: *
Disallow:
For more info go to the Robotstxt.org site.
