How to prevent a website from being found by search engine? This is an unusual request, as the great majority of site owners will like their website to be found by search engine. However, there was a request to do that from my blog reader at Cannot see the toolbar in the post editor window. What to do
Well, if you want to do that, the way to do it is to place a meta tag
<meta name="robots" content="noindex,nofollow" />
anywhere between the <head> and </head> tags in the template.
You will need to get to the template editor of course, and to do that, sign into Dashboard, and in the section for the blog concerned, click Layout (New Blogger template), click the TEMPLATE tab, then the EDIT HTML sub-tab, and you will be presented with the template editor window
For ease of explanation, just place the meta tag immediately after the <head> tag so that what you will see in the template will look like this
<head>
<meta name="robots" content="noindex,nofollow" />
.......
.......
.......
</head>
For added measure, you may want any content removed from the Google search engine. You can make the request here: How can I remove content from Google's index? if you have access to the server (which blogspot users do not have) or you can try Remove your URL
