Title: Disable search engines from spidering?
Post by: Celaine 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...

Take a look here:

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

Oooh...I got all excited, then couldn't view the post. Seems you need to pay?

Robots.txt:

in fact, google for "robots.txt" (http://www.google.com/search?q=robots.txt) and you will find loads of usefull pages.

Keep google from spidering your images:

Code: [Select]

User-Agent: Googlebot-Image
Disallow: /
