Hmmm.....that's not really helpful but thanks for the spelling and grammar lesson


I think that I may not have communicated exactly what I'm trying to do. Sorry I give it another try! I'm still learning.

I don't want the Googlebot to index the index.htm page that is within any of my subdirectories. I have found that Google has indexed my /images/index.htm file.

When the MSNBot did this, it ended up trying to find ALL of my content within the /images/ folder - one can only guess as to why. I took a big nosedive from MSN due to this and had to exclude the /images folder from MSNBot within my robots.txt file.

So without excluding the /images folder from Google, how might I stop people from viewing the contents of the /images folder if I don't have the index.htm file there? I don't sell anything so I cannot separate images into folders as someone mentioned (that would be a great idea tho!) I don't want to take a bad hit by excluding the Googlebot from the /images folder either!

Gosh, I'm not sure that makes any more sense than what I originally wrote

Thanks for your patience and generosity in replying!!!
