Topic: Prevent Search Engines from indexing
Hello everybody,
is it possible to prevent Search Engines to index my punbb-forum?
How can I make sure that nothing from the forum content will be indexed?
All the best
Tom

Password protect with .htaccess if you want to make sure that nobody can access the site without your permission
Just set Guests as unable to view the forum if all you want to do is hide topics/forums/posts
robots.txt lets you tell search engine spiders not to index portions (or all) of your site

Hi Smartys,
thanks a lot.
Hmm, I think robots.txt is the right thing for me.
Would it be possible for you to tell me what to write into robots.txt if I want tell the search engines not to index all of my site?
And where should I place that file? In the root directory of my punbb installation?
Thanks
Tom

User-agent: *
Disallow: /It needs to be in the root of your site
