Hello there,

What you need is a robots.txt file on your site.

It's explained in the Flare Help: https://help.madcapsoftware.com/flare20 ... otstxtFile.

Hopefully this will solve your problem for you.

Regards,
Rae

I'd like to know how using the robot.txt is differnet from using <meta name="robots" content="noindex">, please?

Using robots.txt it is easy to exclude a whole site, or section of a site. Using meta tags makes it easier to exclude individual pages.

Try a Google search: https://www.google.com/search?&q=robots.txt+vs+meta+tag
