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
