Solved Google search shows all posts

Post by JNMann January 14th 2010, 10:00 pm

One of my forum members has his website address in his profile. When he searches for his website ing Google it shows all of his posts on the Forumotion site.

Is there any way to stop this happening ?

Thanks,
Justin :-)

Make your forum private for guests. So that no one is able to see.

This will stop Google showing the posts will it? Will it still allow guests to view though?

Guests cannot see based on the permissions you set.

So I can't stop my posts going into Google searches without stopping guests being able to view?

I don't get it. Just don't give guests permissions, they won't be able to see it then.

Think you're misunderstanding my initial question. I don't want my forum posts to come up in Google searches. I DO want to allow guests to be able to view without registering.

Great, thank you. Followed those instructions. Will new users still be able to find my forum by searching on Google?
