    How would I go about stopping Google from indexing pages on my website?

    Hi 007bond,

    There are many ways but these are the two most common:

    1. Upload a robots.txt file to the root of your web site.
      All this is is a text file you can create in Notepad or any other text editor. In the file you should have these two lines -

      User-agent: *
      Disallow: /

    2. Add a meta tag to the <head> section of every page of your site. The meta tag that tells the engines not to index the page is -

      <META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="NOINDEX, NOFOLLOW">

      3. More info on both of these can be found here http://www.robotstxt.org
