SEO – Remove your site from search engine index like Google

If you don’t want your site to be indexed by search engine like Google, create a file called robots.txt with the following 2 lines and put it in your webroot directory.

User-agent: *
Disallow: /

 

Open http://<your_domain>/robots.txt in browser to check if the above file is shown.

Done =)

  1. That’s it. So easy to do. But I guess if I’m at the point of doing it, I will be having a hard time as I’m still learning wordpress. Still in the process of creating a domain name. And if given a chance to learn wordpress, I would do so without any hesitation.
