There are three commonly supported methods for instructing/requesting internet indexing spiders/bots/robots what to scan and what to skip. Each of these methods are complimentary in usefulness to each other, but none are not equal in effect.

1. robots.txt
2. Robots Meta Tag
3. .htacess and mod_rewrite

Summary:

To really protect and enforce rules for any specific user agent that is visiting your website you will have to constantly analyze website traffic analytics, bandwidth reports and visiting IP addresses and geographic locations, known pubilc or private proxy servers, and the specific methods and tactics of EVERY unwanted program and visitor and be able to implement new means to thwart their new methods on a regular basis.

Use an embedded meta tag on a specific page to instruct search engine spiders and robots what to index and disallow:

1. Pages including “noindex, nofollow” indicate that they are NOT to be index, NOT to be included in listings, and NOT to be scanned for reciprocal links.
2. Pages including “index, nofollow” indicate that they are to be indexed and listed, but not scanned for reciprocal links.
3. Pages including “index, follow” indicate that they are to be fully index and scanned for all reciprocal links and included in all applicable listings.

DO NOT index, DO NOT include in listings, and DO NOT follow reciprocal links

<input name="robots" content="noindex, nofollow" />

Index, include in listings, but DO NOT follow reciprocal links

<input name="robots" content="index, nofollow" />

Index, include in listings, and follow reciprocal links

<input name="robots" content="index, follow" />

Also see:

1. Robots.txt
2. .htacess and mod_rewrite

Here are a few examples of robots.txt file (plain text):

Ask all search engines to NOT index or follow links on the entire website:

#asks all search engines to NOT index and NOT follow any pages or links on the entire website
User-agent: *
Disallow: /

Allows all search engines to index and follow links on the entire website by Disallowing nothing:

#allows search engines to index and follow all pages and links on the entire website by Disallowing nothing
User-agent: *
Disallow:

Disallows specific folders and files from indexing and following:

User-agent: *
Disallow: /uploads/ # since this folder may contain secure, private, cached or temporary files, we should disallow this entire folder from being indexed.
Disallow: /tmp/ # since this folder may contain cached or temporary files, we should disallow this entire folder from being indexed
Disallow: /page.php

Web Start has an advantage over applets in that it overcomes many compatibility problems with browsers\' Java plugins and different JVM versions. On the other hand, Web Start programs cannot communicate with the browser as easily as applets. To assist migration, users can also invoke a Java Applet as a Java Web Start application.])
