how to restrict visitors and Google visiting my sub domain

    Hi all,

    I want to find a way to get rip of the duplicate contents issue caused by addon and subdomain. I dont want my sites penalized by google.

    I have an addon domain: say www.sub.com
    It can also be accessed via the sub domain: www.sub.main.com (via my main url)

    As you can see, different URLs have the same site, same contents. Google might penalize it.

    So I want to somehow make it so that visitors or google cannot access www.sub.main.com (make it looks like it does not exist)

    The big problem is, my site is hosted under a Windows server, so I cant use .htaccess, and my site is using HTML only.

    Do you think there is a way for me to achieve what i want? (other than robot.txt?)

    Thanks in advanced.

    I think you need to add robots.txt file to your website which restricts google spiders to crawl through unwanted pages.

    Hope it will work for your. Goodluck!!!
