Hi,
I've created a simple PHPbb3 site. The thing is is that its a private and invitation only site. I've set all the permissions up on PHPbb and included a robots.txt file in the site root:
User-agent: *

Disallow: /


Is there any thing else I can do to hide it from search engines?
TIA
Kree8or

You could make it so that to access the content you have to click submit in an otherwise empty form - afaik search engines won't ever submit form data.

apparantly the search engine Bots use guest accounts, so I've restricted guest accounts so they can't see the forums, and the sign ups are protected by a CAPTCHA system.

I think, invisible link/website is doesn't support by google. it can be too risky for your website and it might be ban.

Good! The whole point is i don't want it om Google!

Force users to register, block 'bot' accounts so no spidering can take place.

Enjoy your warez porn site! :D
