Unwanted visitors

Not unwanted exactly, but confused. Search engines will spider all your pages eventually, and someone may find themselves opening your popup window without ever opening the original or mother window.

Not what you want. One way out is to put all your inner pages for the popups in one folder, and make sure it's at the root level of your site - that means, in the same location as your index.html, not within another folder. If you have to move pages to do this, don't worry, Golive will prompt you and update the links.

Then make a text file - not a Golive or html file, use Simpletext or Wordpad or whatever is your simplest text editor.

Call it robots.txt and put it in your website folder.

The text file should read:

User-agent: *
Disallow: /popups/

Instead of popups, put the name of your folder that holds those files. Otherwise, be careful to type exactly as I have, case is important. I'm not absolutely certain this is vital, but I have separated the two lines of text by a soft return - a useful thing to know about anyway. Instead of Return after the first line, do shift-return. This sends you to a new line without an empty line in between. If you use this in other contexts, you should know it doesn't start a new paragraph, so any css you have applied to the paragraph will still apply. In this case, I'd be on the safe side and do it.

Now upload this file along with the others and it should keep robots at bay, so the pages in that folder don't show up in search engines.
