How can I hide my website from search engines?

Written by seocraze on Apr 7th, 2010 | Filed under: Search Engines

I have a personal website and I prefer that it not show up on search engine searches. I only want friends and family to know about it/view it. Are there any tricks I can use to hide my website/domain name from the search engines?

    Use the robots.txt file

    <meta name="robots" content="noindex, nofollow" />

    Now, this will block the site from Google and "SKIM" results in yahoo and Live.

    SKIM results. You can still find SERPs like this:

    http://www.yourdomain.com
    http://www.yourdomain.com Cache page

    No description – just the page title and URL.

    Create a file called robots.txt in the main directory of your website.

    Robots.txt should contain 2 lines:

    User-agent: *
    Disallow: /

    That tells search websites to leave your website alone.

    Websites like google will only show your website it if you register it and give it a description. I think?!!!!!
