I think I have this right but would be grateful if somebody could confirm.
I upload prototype sites for my clients. I used to put them in a sub
directory of my site ( so www.cyberpress.biz/john/ ) and put
<META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="NOINDEX, NOFOLLOW">
in the head of the html (every page).
I have made a sub-domain called 'demo' specifically for uploading
proto-sites and work in progress. I don't want them to mess up the
google returns for my site and my clients won't want google indexing a
lot of Lorem Ipsum and other crap so in the root of demo.cyberpress.biz
I put a text file named robots.txt which reads
User-agent: *
Disallow: /
And that's all. I can forget the meta robots thing. And my main site
will still be indexed.
Is that right? Sort of important that it should be right and I didn't go
to college for this stuff.
