Prevent Your Site Being Listed On Search Engines (For Privacy Reasons)

  Some people just want their sites to be their own journal or diaries, no peeking from other users. Whereas some wants to share their 'world' with the real world. Actually, that was what blogspot was made for. Anyway, here I will show you all how to prevent your site from being listed on search engines.

Advantage :

• I already stated it above.

Steps :

1. Edit your site's html
2. Insert this (replace ^^ with <>) ^meta content="noindex" name="robots"^ or this ^meta content="noindex" name="googlebot"^ (if you want to block google only, not sure for others) after the '' section
3. Save ...& done!

For websites like blogspot users, very simple, don't have to follow above instructions above. (Bet you already read it, right?)

Blogspot settings

Steps :

1. Dashboard > Settings > Basic
2. Search for "Let search engines find your blog?", then click no
3. Save ...& done!
   

There's still a catch here, even if you're not listed on search engines anymore, people still can access your websites through direct links, as in type your site's address in the address bar. Go here for further details.
