  • SEARCH ENGINE OPTOUT

    Now you can hide your Xanga site from outside search engines!

    We’ve noticed that many of you prefer not to be indexed by outside search engines, such as Google and Yahoo. Earlier this year, we introduced the Xanga Lock, which blocked all unsigned in visitors (including search engines ). But some of you pointed out that while you didn’t want to be indexed by search engines, you still wanted to allow non-Xangan friends to read your site. That made a lot of sense, so Monsur added a Search Engine privacy setting that lets *you* decide whether or not to allow outside search engines to index your site.

    Please note that this works for all search engines that support the Robots Meta Tag, including Google, Yahoo, and MSN. We hope this helps!

    For Premium users – If you are using a Xanga Skin to design your frontpage, please add the following Skin tag to the HEAD section of your Skin code: <$No_Search$>. All other pages on your site support the new Search Engine privacy setting, including your posts, photos, profile, etc.
