Stopping search engines finding web site
'Ello,

I was wondering is there any way to stop search engines from finding my web site? Its kind of more a private site and don't want it going onto search engines.

Thank you in advance, El Barto

Hey, thanks for the rep!

Just an afterthought, if it is a private site you could use .htaccess to password protect it and nobody would be able to get past that without access rights.....

Hope this helps

Cheers

Andy
