Hiding Obscure URL ???

31 Aug 2010, 11:22

Google found and indexed a URL which seems to serve no purpose publicly:
www.MYSITE.com/imagevue.php?a=config&theme=

It doesn't seem to belong to the flash site, the HTML site, or the admin panel. Is there anyway to have this path redirect to the home page?

You can view the full path here: http://tiny.cc/np3l5
(using the tiny URL as I would rather not have google searches of my URL find forum entries).

Thanks in Advance!

The only thing that comes to mind is to use robots.txt and deny indexing of imagevue.php file. Maybe we should include some default robots.txt in the distribution?

Understand. I'm looking into Google Webmaster Tools > Site Configuration > Crawler Access.

There looks to be a method of generating a robot.txt file there where access can be denied to specific URLs, just as you are suggesting.

Thanks!
