This is something i would think would be popular, but apparently not since it is difficult to find
Thanks. LeonardSlates.com
Create a new text file and into it enter something similar
Code:
User-agent: *
Disallow: /
This will 'ask' all search engines not to index any page of your site
Code:
User-agent: Googlebot
Disallow: /
This will 'ask' Google not to index any page of your site
Code:
User-agent: Googlebot
Disallow: /terms.htm
This will 'ask' Google not to index your page called terms.htm
Save the file as robots.txt
I say 'ask' because a robots.txt file is a simply a request it is upto the respective search engines to comply or not.
Once you have the file, you need to upload it to your root directory, normally the place where the index.htm (Home page) is, the best way to do this is to create a new layer called Design add a placeholder press Ctrl+Alt+Sht+A to attach the file, then make the design layer not visible so it is uploaded but nothing is show.
