Hiding certain forums?


How do i hide certain forums from being seen by spiders? I know how to stop spiders seeing certain pages but not forums as they are a bit different.

Would i just put Disallow: /forums/forumdisplay.php?f=4 ? Something like that?

Also if i do that and the forum is a catagory, will it stop all forums inside that being seen? Also would it stop posts and topics in the forums being seen?

Re: Hiding certain forums?


well, do you want guest to see the forum ?
I guess your way would work, but I would just not allow unregistered to see the forum.
