Can anyone confirm that published family tree when not Public are free from Google (or other search engine) Searches?

Thanks in advance

If your tree is hidden, then it won't be indexed because there are no incoming links.  On the other hand, once your tree has been indexed by a search engine, then hiding it won't stop the search engine to index new pages.

In the later case, you need to set a password to protect your tree.

Thanks for your response.
I wonder though if the administrators would be willing to add a robots.txt file to instruct the search engines not to index the site or know if adding the robots.txt would have the desired effect.

Great suggestion.  I think we can have an option of having a hidden tree and not indexed by search engines.  Some individuals want their tree hidden from our public directory (http://familytrees.genopro.com/Directory.aspx), yet indexed by search engines.

Do you think then that you'll implement that feature?
Could you report back when it's in place and working?

Thanks in advance
