Free from Search Engines
Hi all,
Here's my problem... I am currently creating some content for a customer that needs a secure login, and wishes to have their content free from prying search engines.
This is kind of a unique situation, and I understand that dynamically generated pages could be the best route for safeguard against search engines, but that isn't my specialty. Would creating a merchant site, and placing content behind an https be the best route? (Would that deflect the search engines?).
Thanks in advance!

Re: Free from Search Engines
Generally, the robots.txt file at the root level of the site tells search engine spiders what to ignore. Not all search engines respect this file however. Since the 'private' pages require a login with a password, the search engines really shouldn't be able to access the pages anyway.

Re: Free from Search Engines
You can also put the following line into the head section of each page:
<meta name="robots" content="noindex,nofollow">
Although, like the above method, I don't know how many search engines will respect this.
