Internet Marketing For Newbies

Just click on the link below for a quick video on keeping search engine spiders out of some folders or your entire site. You may ask, WHY I would want to keep SE spiders out of my site? Sometimes I build a website live as I go and other times I want to complete a certain percentage of the site before I let search engines index my pages. When your in the building stage it’s best not to get pages indexed because if you remove a page for what ever reason and it’s been indexed, you will start getting 404 errors (page not located) and creating more work for yourself.

Disclaimer: This is my first video so it’s a little rough. Also after looking at the video I see that I misspoke a few times. I used the term de-index several times. De-indexing implies that it has already been index. The whole idea here it to prevent the search engines from indexing your site or folders before your ready to let them in.

Here is the link to the video. It’s only 2 to 3 minutes long.
