Can you remove a site from Google?

mg1000 · 09-03-2009, 03:53 PM

I didnt know if I should ask this in SEO or in the anything section.

I have a personal blog and I DONT want any search engine traffic. its just a diary for me.
Is there any way to tell Google not to index this site?
and if I do will it affect the other sites in my server that i DO want Google in index?
thanks

i think you need to look into the NO ROBOTS meta tag or something along those lines. Im not 100% sure though.

Is it a Wordpress blog? If so, login to the admin area then go to "Settings" >> "Privacy"

Choose the correct option and save.
