Does google re-check Disallow often?

    hi,

    I am about to launch my web design site and I want Google to not index my pages until i want it to.

    By adding

    User Agent:*
    Disallow: /
    Code (markup):
    If I do this will google come back to check whether that Disallow is still there when im ready to launch? (Could that be a long time?)

    Otherwise what is the best way to stop search engines indexing when your site is still under construction?

    No it won't take a long time. When you're all ready to launch, I would simply remove the Disallow all and submit the sitemap and website to Google. External links to your website help a lot as well.
