What I did when I had pages I didn't want indexed, was place in their <head> tags the no index no follow tag, and I also had a robots.txt file in the root directory that listed the no index & no follow commands, and the applicable webpages. -Clint
God Bless Us All Clint Hamilton, Owner http://OrpheusComputing.com � ----- Original Message ----- From: "Roger Williams" <[EMAIL PROTECTED]> Clint, I am no pundit in the field, but every bit of looking I have done on info sites explaining the robots meta-tags, say everything from "not all robots support" to "few robots support." I have no idea how one would even find out how many bots do or don't. I suspect that the the best solution, if you have your own server, is to use the robots.txt and if not try the .htaccess file. However, I am not convinced that these tools will stop all bots, especially those who decide not to follow the rules or access servers that do not support these things.
