Ken,
Darn. My website is: www.uslink.net/~golden. It's not my own domain,
so it looks like the host root is out of my reach. The page that I don't
want to be indexed is www.uslink.net/~golden/order1.html.
I'm trying not to use a password. It's only this one page that I want to
prevent from being indexed. Everything else on the site is fair game.
What are the chances that <META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="NOINDEX, NOFOLLOW">
will do the job?
Thanks!
Scott
