Top 3 Ways to Hide Website in Google Search Result

Google Explains Three Ways Hide Website in Google Search Result

SEO People asks whether it's  possible to hide a website in search while still  letting users access it.  

In short, yes you can.  There are three ways that you can do that use a 

1. Password 

2. Block crawling 

3. Block indexing.   

Let's take a quick look at them.  Locking a website down with a password  is often the best approach if you  want to keep your site private.   

Neither search engines nor random web users  would be able to see your content, so it's quite secure.  Blocking crawling is another approach.   

 

 

This is done with the robots.txt file.  Random users of the web would still  be able to use your website while well-behaved search engines would know not to access it.  This isn't an ideal approach, since search engines  might still index the address of the website without accessing the content.  

 It's rare, but it can happen.  Blocking indexing is the other option.  For this, you add a "noindex" robots meta-tag to your pages.  This tells search engines not to index  that page after they crawl it.  Users don't see the meta-tag and can still  access the page normally.   

Overall, for private content, our recommendation  is to use password protection.  It's easy to check that it's working,  and it prevents anyone from accessing your content.

Blocking crawling or indexing are  good options when the content isn't private  or if they're just parts of a website which  you'd like to prevent from appearing in search.  I hope this helps answer your question, all the seo peoples.
