Hi,

I didn't visit the URL posted by soggy but I can answer your questions.

Protect your email address on your site from mail stripping robots

How do I do that though? And the purpose of that is to get less spam right?

It prevents your e-mail from being harvested into a spam database. This can be done using Javascript. Basically, you don't store the e-mail in plain text in the HTML - you let Javascript construct the mail link.

<script TYPE="text/javascript">
<!--
emailAddy=('web' + 'master' + '@' + 'porn' + 'meister.edu')
document.write('<a href="mailto:' + Addy + '">' + Addy + '</a>')
//-->
</script>

Learn how to make a robots.txt file so images.google.com won't offer your images to others.

Again, how does one make this? And what does it do? Keep the images from appearing when ppl do a image search?

Yep, it keeps your images away from Google's image search. In can be done by adding a robots.txt file with the following lines :

User-agent: Googlebot-Image
Disallow: /

You can get more information on that from Google : http://www.google.com/remove.html
