Limiting Search Engine Visibility
By default, all blog sites will be accessible by commercial search engines for indexing. Note: the main NYU Search (based on Google technology) will NOT index sites on blogs.nyu.edu.
Therefore, should you wish to make your blog site inaccessible to commercial search engines and spambots, follow the instructions below to enable the Restrict Reader Access setting:
- Click the Main Menu link.
- Click your blog’s name, listed in the My Weblogs box. This displays the main screen for your blog.

- Click Secure My Blog.

- Under the Configuration section, remove the checkmark in the box next to Search Engine Access:.
- Click Save Configuration.
