Disable search engines from spidering?
« on: September 04, 2004, 02:36:52 am »
I'd like to be able to keep search engines from picking up the images in my albums. Is there a way to do this?
Thanks in advance...

You can do it with robots.txt and .htaccess.

Robots.txt:

in fact, google for "robots.txt" and you will find loads of usefull pages.

Keep google from spidering your images:
