How do I stop search engines from archiving my website?

Answer 1

You need to tell the search engine spiders not to index your site. Although I could give you the entire code to create a robots.txt site, it's probably simpler to use the robots.txt generator linked below.

Just place it in the root director of the site (where your index page is) and it will allow you tell spiders to index only certain pages or none at all.

Answer 2

If you don't want it archived the only way is to keep the spiders from looking at and listing your site at all. You can do this by including the tag:

on every page. This will tell the robots to not index (archive and save to their list) and to not follow any links on the page.

You can also create a robots.txt file in your root directory to tell the robots the same thing.

Answer 3

Yes, you can stop search engines archiving your website. But you can't do anything if the page is already archived.

What you need to do create a robots.txt on your website, that stops searching indexing them

Or create .htaccess stops searching even accessing the websites.

How to stop robots and spiders
If you do not wish your pages to be indexed by the spiders at all, then you can use meta tags.
This tag is meant to provide users who cannot control the robots.txt file at their sites.

(The robots.txt file is used to prevent search engine spiders from indexing either your entire web site, or specific pages and/or directories. This would be useful if your site is still under construction. You can also use the robots.txt file to prevent specific spiders from indexing your web site, by using the spider's name you wish to exclude)



ALL - The default for the robot attribute and would allow all of the files to be indexed.

INDEX - means that robots are welcome to include this page in
search services.

FOLLOW - means that robots are welcome to follow links from this
page to find other pages.

So allows the subsidiary links to be explored, even though the page is not indexed.

A value of "NOFOLLOW" allows the page to be indexed, but no links from the page are explored (this may be useful if the page is a free entry point into pay-per-view content,for example.

A value of "NONE" tells the robot to ignore the page.

Answer 6

Most search engines that use automated bots (spiders) to catalogue websites will read your site's tag. If you have meta tags, remove them and automated spiders shuld ignore it. Also, limit your link sharing. Some will catalogue by links to your site and give you "search weight" by the number of links it has found to your site.

Answer 7

can't do that...

search engines try to archive all the pages (including yours)

Answer 8

Get a money making web site, try really hard to get it noticed (and listed by search engines) and there you go.
Sods law. If you want it it will never happen!

Answer 9

Yangyanzhe listed some good resources.

Here is a big list for your .htaccess file:

It deals with robots by name so it blocks scans no matter who is doing it or from where.

Answer 10

remove meta-tags and keywords from each of your site's page.
