Stop google indexing subdomain


I have subdomain "klient" for testing websites for our clients and I don't want that to be indexed. I have set in robots.txt (in root of our web) this:

User-agent: *
disallow: /subdom/klient/*

But I'm not sure, if it does really work, because I have now found testing site in google results...

Where could be problem or how could we stop google and other bots indexing this folder...?

Thank you


Solution

  • You can do that by placing a robots.txt in the root directory of your subdomain.

    So in your klient.example.com, place a robots.txt with the following content:

    User-agent: *
    Disallow: /
    

    If you want to remove already indexed pages, create a new webconsole site with your subdomain and remove the indexed pages there.
