Block Google indexing of an eCUIP section #88

Open dbietila opened 6 years ago

dbietila commented 6 years ago

I setup a robots.txt here: http://ecuip.lib.uchicago.edu/robots.txt

But we should talk more about this tomorrow. We need to better understand what the desired result is.

It looks like we can ask google to remove it but we'll need to verify the site and add it to Search Console. @johnjung could you do this?

johnjung commented 6 years ago

Added and verified.
