Hi, I would like to know what is the best way to avoid search engines from indexing a site made with Muse?

I must say that I don't know about coding (That's why I use Muse in the first place!)...Is there a simple way to do it?

Thank You!

To avoid search engines from indexing a site, follow these steps :

1. Search engine crawler look for metadata tags in your page. You may leave the metadata empty for each page in your site.

Here are the steps to update metadata :

1. Open the page in the design mode.

2. Go to Page > Page Properties > Metadata

3. Leave Description, Keywords and HTML for <head> empty.

2. Search engine also looks for sitemap.xml to index your pages. You can uncheck the sitemap so that the page is not added to sit

2. Go to Page > Page Properties > Options

3. Uncheck include page in sitemap.xml checkbox.

In addition to this, you may also leave the page title empty.
