  • You can either place a robots.txt file in your document root or you can place the following line in the HTML header of any page you don't want indexed:

    <META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="NOINDEX, NOFOLLOW">

    The nofollow attribute tells the crawler to not follow any of the links on the page as well.

    If you want to do this via robots.txt you can Google some samples that will specify how to control what crawler sees what.
