Greetings,

When right click is disabled in a site, do the contents and pages still get crawled and indexed?

Your input will be very much appreciated.

Thanks,
Louie

    The pages still get crawled and indexed by Search engines. I also never heard of any ranking problems because of disabling the right click. But I sure have heard of ticked off visitors. In fact, when I run into this approach, I am one of them.

    The issue is that, depending on the browser and whatever tools the user may have installed, a right click enables a whole host of useful functionality - functionality that has nothing to do with protecting or violating your copyright. Takeaway that functionality and you, the web publisher, may be seen as heavy handed and that can upset an otherwise happy visitor. And since the purposeful thief has so many other ways to get at your text anyway, disabling right click doesn't make sense to me.

    If you want to inform visitors about the copyright, all you need to do is put a copyright notice on the page. And you are still protected even if you don't do that.

    Disabling right click on a website won't cause any problems getting your content / pages getting crawled or indexed.

    I also don't think disabling right click will affect your content and of course and pages still will get crawled .

    Hi Bro,

    Probably you have done it to protect your webpage from content stolen or either else. It will not hamper you in seo....Crawling and indexing are other things.......If you have any problem with that, you can knock me any time.


    Warm regards,
