Hi,

Is there any way to block a web site to be listed on search engines?

For example if the dns name is www.companyname.com, google returns the
address if someone searchs for "company name"; even if we don't submit the
website on any saerch engine and there is no link to www.companyname.com on
any other site.

I am looking for a way to pervent google or other search engines returns a
site in any search result.

Thanks,
Ali

Slight screwup on my part,...... the "noindex" in pragma is meant to be
"no-cache"

Dig into the format of robots.txt.

That's near impossible. But good luck anyway...

And the 'goodlebot' meta entity, which is dedicated to be used by
Google engine:
<META NAME="googlebot" CONTENT="noarchive,nofollow">

Or using a robots.txt file which is more convenient to be effective
on whole server.
See Google's FAQ:

Have a nice day,
