I have a client who wishes their images not to appear on search engines.
So far I added this to the robots.txt…
===START
User-agent: Googlebot-Image
Disallow: /
User-agent: *
Disallow: /.gif$
Disallow: /.jpg$
Disallow: /.jpeg$
Disallow: /.png$
====END
Is that the correct syntax? Not sure where I got this from.
It didn’t work - images were still creeping into search results, so I’m now trying to ban all search indexing (this is not a site that relies on search discovery)
I’ve replaced “Googlebot-Image” with “*”
I’ve also added…
…to the HEAD for all pages on the site.
Anything else I can do to keep the bots at bay?
