How To: Block Your WordPress Website from Search Engine

Posted in: Tutorials by Brad Williams on July 6, 2009

Do you want to block your WordPress website from being indexed by Google, Yahoo, or any search engine at all?  Just visit the Settings > Privacy SubPanel and enable the option:

I would like my blog to be visible to everyone, including search engines (like Google, Sphere, Technorati) and archivers

Screenshot example shown below:

Another good idea is to create a robots.txt file in your root WordPress directory with these two lines of code:

User-agent: *
Disallow: /

This also tells search engines to stay away and will not allow your content to be indexed.
