stop the web spiders from crawling though my site and backing up pages i don't what anyone to see unless they click the link to them?

thanks.

Look into setting up a robots.txt file.

You place the robots.txt file in your root folder.

thanks red that is what i need. but i am not sure about the meta tag it says it might not work. looks like i will have to find room on the sites and make a folder to put the pages in. then block that folder.



all that work just to keep some one from cheating on my treasure hunt style of game
