search engine question |
I am exchanging some data with my co-authors in foreign countries, and I am using web to do it. Some of the data is not public data, so password protected them and eycripted the main page. But the page is linked to bunch of PDF and excel files.How can I make the *entire directry* (not individual page) unseachable by the search engines? I read Google and there seem to be some protocol but requires that server administrator insert some text in it. |

Password protect everything |
| Password protect everything on your server so that the anyone who doesn't know the password (includes search engines) can't read it. You can use a robots.txt file to try to discourage search engines, but this is not foolproof, see http://www.robotstxt.org/wc/robots.html Anything that's already been indexed is now out there, it's too late to fix.
