you can start by the elementary way of telling bots to stay off a page.

 

 

meta tags:

<head>

<title>your title</title>

<META HTTP-EQUIV="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=iso-8859-1">

<META HTTP-EQUIV="Cache-Control" content="cache">

<META HTTP-EQUIV="Expires" content="0">

<META NAME="not for you">

<META HTTP-EQUIV="content-language" content="EN">

<META NAME="Title" content="your title">

<META NAME="Rating" content="General">

<META NAME="Robots" content="noindex,nofollow">

<META NAME="Abstract" content="not for you">

<META NAME="Author" content="me">

<META NAME="Keywords" content="not,for,you">

<META NAME="Copyright" content="me">

<META NAME="Designer" content="me">

<META NAME="revisit-after" content="0">

<META NAME="MSSmartTagsPreventParsing" content="TRUE">

</head>

 

i would leave every line in-tact. some bots aren't as smart as others, and they need the full meta tags in my opinion.

 

 

and EDIT YOUR english.php and REMOVE "osCommerce" from the title tag!!

The most i see are open cause they are demo's or abandend sites with no pasword protected admin...

 

You think there is a problem if you password protect your admin?

 

Kind Regards,

Tom

Even in this dark place, yes, I am afraid of my own shadow.
