There are tons of great articles for getting your site indexed by Google and other search engines. But what if you, for some reason, just don’t want something to be plastered across peoples search results? Maybe it’s a login page or even just a personal website of yours that has no reason to be on a search engine.

User-agent: * Disallow: /

This should keep all search engine bots from indexing all pages past that point. If your site is already indexed though, it might become more problematic.
