elmo stranger Registered: 03/25/08 Posts: 12 Loc: NYC	I was hacking around google and discovered that my profile and a post on this forum was indexed. It should not be! What the forum needs is a robots.txt file to keep out google..... The txt file can be quite specific about what it does not want indexed.

AllenAyres Registered: 12/29/03 Posts: 1530 Loc: Texas	That's a matter of preference for the administrator of any site - myself I don't care if google has my profile here indexed, it's one reason why I add my website url to my profile I don't put anything in my profile on any site I wouldn't want the world to know... Do a search for robots.txt here, there's one being developed for site admins who do want to block certain pages from being indexed. _________________________ - Allen - ThreadsDev \| PraiseCafe

AllenAyres Registered: 12/29/03 Posts: 1530 Loc: Texas	Originally Posted By: jgeoff rel="nofollow"? Dubya Tea Eff?? HERE??? :/ agreed, not sure why we'd be concerned with url's in signatures not being followed by search engines - why else would a site owner link to their website at a site for forum administrators? _________________________ - Allen - ThreadsDev \| PraiseCafe
