Subject: Blocking Image indexing?
Print | Individual message | Show original | Report this message | Find messages by this author

Hey all,

Does anyone know how to employ htaccess or some other method to block images
indexing of CERTAIN directories on your server?

I have some portfolio images in directories that I do not want google/yahoo
to be indexing in their image results (as they do my photoblog images0, but
I can't quite find out how to block things that way.

Any help would be appreciated,

Tanja

Hi Tanja,

Have a look at the robots.txt file.  Can use it to tell search engines
not to go places.

HTH,

Richard

You can block the googlebot-images robot in robots.txt.   I banned it
outright,  but  you can also specify what folders you don't want
indexed:

http://www.google.com/support/webmasters/bin/answer.py?answer=40364&q...
or http://tinyurl.com/23bld6

In my experience this takes a very long time to come into effect and I
was still getting hits from the country google sites  (google.ca,
google.co.uk, etc.) even when I dropped off images.google.com

I've also blocked google images in my .htaccess with the following:

#block Google Images referrals
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} http://images.google.ca.*$ [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} http://images.google.*$ [NC,OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} http://images.google.com.*$ [NC]
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ - [F,L]

Now that I look at it, with the middle rewrite condition  the other
two might be redundant.   The last line means access forbidden...  I
tried to make it redirect in a more friendly way but that just
confused my server.

Hi Tanja,
You have to make a robots.txt file in a notepad and define, in it, which
directories you want to keep away from robots. upload robots.txt to your
root of the server.
for more info http://www.google.com/webmasters.

thanks.

Thanks all.

I've created a robots txt to block robot access to the images folder of a
particular directory. Hopefully that should do the trick!
