Hi
I have a webpage used for company use and don't want search engines to find.
How can I alter the meta info to make it invisable to search bots etc

Hi Paul,

Make a file in notepad, type in this text exactly

User-Agent: *
Disallow: /

then save this as robots.txt and upload to the root of your site.

Hi
Won't this stop all of my webpages from been indexed?
I only want the one webpage not searchable

Paul: Review this tutorial on creating robots.txt files. You can exclude
specific pages:
http://www.searchengineworld.com/robots/robots_tutorial.htm

You can also place this in the <head> of your page to stop *some* robots
from crawling the page:
<meta name="robots" content="noindex,nofollow">

Hi Paul,

Yes it will - i thought that's what you wanted, sorry. To just block one
page you can either do the robots.txt like this

User-Agent: *
Disallow: /DontIndexThisPage.htm

or you can put in the head of the page
<meta name="robots" content="noindex,nofollow">

To be sure I'd do both
