  2. Hi,
    If you watch news about Web activity you already know Google is impossible to defeat.
    These are my best tips:
    1) Make sure "Directory Browsing" is disabled in your Control Panel.
    2) Create a robots.txt file and place it in the root of your site.
    Make sure you have at least added this:
    User-agent: *
    Disallow: /
    3) Consider using the two protected folders in your site that don't allow D/L's:
    _database and App_data

    Another thing you can do is add Membership but that may be more than you need.
    All the best,
    Mark
