Blocked Search Engines?

[Daniel]

Have you blocked search engines from your website?

 

[nYXem]

huh? are you serious? No, I didn't :P

 

[SLiMRiDER]

Some sites, like WBB, do so. I don't see why a site should unless they wanna stay private or if they're huge.

 

[nYXem]

Yea, wbb is a rare case. They don't need google to be honest. But we do, unfortunately

 

[Daniel]

Yes, i'm seirous. Perhaps you created your own very personal website and google were indexing your personal details.

 

[devilboy23]

nah, i own a small site not big as w-bb to block search engines :P

 

[SLiMRiDER]

Yes, i'm seirous. Perhaps you created your own very personal website and google were indexing your personal details.

Well I wouldn't create a very personal website on the internet that has information sensitive enough that you're blocking it from a search engine. You mean like a portfolio?

 

[Daniel]

Perhaps a blog with your real name, photos, videos which is suppose to only be viewable by your friends.. That's just one sample.. Although, if you want to make your community private/underground.

 

[SLiMRiDER]

Hmm yeah then that's acceptable I guess. If you're gonna make only viewable for friends then I would make it private.

well if i would like to create a private site, i would password protect it, if it has private information, etc.

I'm blocking search engine bots on my encoding/uploading dedicated server. The files has a http access, and i don't want others to find them accidentally with search and start using my bandwidth. I like to remote upload.

yea sandy is correct, I have a site which I blocked search engines. It is a place only for my eyes, no one else needs to see it, even if they search and accidentally get to it.

However the rest encourage search engines with open arms. I even offer free drinks and food to the spiders who visit.

I blocked access for my premium link generator. No need for search engine traffic. All your visitors will be back the next day anyway
