You said you dont want the word of your site being displayed on se's or partularly my se yet you dont seem to understand how search engines work..

You place a txt file in your root directory outlining what folders you dont want to give public access to.

Once you do that your site wont be displayed on se's like mine.

try reading the thread.. pay close attention to the post that i ack's it was my fault for giving him the template without the courtesy link because it was a test script.

That both yahoo and google do , but neither of them give you backlink and furthermore yahoo disables your google adsense code and all cookie and javascript on your site..

um ok..
