In the file you should have these two lines -<br /> <blockquote><p> User-agent: *<br /> Disallow: / </p></blockquote> </li> <li>Add a meta tag to the &lt;head&gt; section of every page of your site. The meta tag that tells the engines not to index the page is -<br /> <blockquote><p> &lt;META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="NOINDEX, NOFOLLOW"&gt; </p></blockquote> </li> <p>More info on both of these can be found here <a href="http://www.robotstxt.org" rel="nofollow">http://www.robotstxt.org</a></ol> http://www.googletutor.com/forums/topic/stop-my-site-from-showing-up-in-google/page/4#post-113 Thu, 13 Nov 2008 22:06:49 +0000 007bond 113@http://www.googletutor.com/forums/ <p>How would I go about stopping Google from indexing pages on my website? </p>
