Dear
E-Myth Reader,
We previously discussed optimizing your web pages for higher placement in search engine results. Now we describe how to
exclude pages from results in Website Tips: Block
the Bots.
Block the Bots
Many websites have public pages they'd rather not see in web search results, e.g., coupons, expired offers, style sheets and
pages not fully functional. Private data should always require login/password authentication, but any public page could be read
by a search bot and added to an index. You can keep pages hidden from major search engines using a simple text file named
robots.txt.
You can see any site's robots.txt (if it exists) by typing the web domain address plus /robots.txt. For instance http://www.google.com/robots.txt lists content directories that
Google wants to exclude from search results. Do you have public pages you don't want broadcast by the big search engines? Read
Website Tips: Block the Bots.
