A way to stop Yahoo from Indexing my site.

Hey guys Whats up !

Well I have a website which is 3 months old and I don't want Yahoo to index it, is there a way to do so?

 

You should submit your website here
search.yahoo.com/info/submit.html

 

Is it only Yahoo that you don't want to index it or all search engines?

If it is all search engines and you use wordpress, then adjust the settings under privacy to that effect.

 

Disallow Yahoo's bots via your robots.txt file.

Here's a list of their bots: http://johannburkard.de/blog/www/yahoo-bots-list-all-user-agents.html

If you haven't made a robots.txt file before, have a quick read here: Robots File

 

Thanks for sharing it

 

Hi
To protect your site or a particular page from any spider, you need to specify in robot.txt file.
In robot.txt, code format is following:

User-agent: spider-name
Disallow: /your site URL path .

Yahoo's spider name is Slurp. So mention "Slurp" in robot.txt file.
