Private posts indexed by Google?

  • Hi,

    I’m thinking of creating an online journal where some entries are public and other entries are posted as ‘private’. Am I right in thinking the ‘private’ posts will only be seen by myself and that search engine bots will NOT index the ‘private’ posts?

    Many thanks.

    Dave

  • Do you have found answer about this ?

    I’ve done some experimenting and found that Google is not indexing my private pages.

    I published a private page with bizarre text on it, waited 2 months and then put the text in quotes and searched for it in google and yahoo. They didn’t find it.

    That’s proof enough for me but if it’s really confidential information I recommend just never putting it online.
