There are questions like:
HOW TO DE-INDEX WEBPAGES?
HOW TO REMOVE SITE FROM SEARCH ENGINE RESULTS?
HOW TO PREVENT SITE FROM BEING INDEXED BY SEARCH ENGINES?
HOW TO REMOVE WEBSITE FROM SERP?
In-order to avoid site from indexing or showing up in search results you can do following:
-----------------
MODIFY ROBOTS.TXT FILE
We have to modify the robots.txt file to add the instruction for search engine bot not to crawl the website
instruction is like this
User-agent: *
Disallow: /
-----------------
ADD ROBOTS META TAG
you can add meta tags
<meta name="robots" content="noindex,nofollow" />
The issue with this is is that you have to add it to each and every page.
-----------------
HTACCESS CHANGES
Another option is to add following instruction in .htaccess page
Header set X-Robots-Tag "noindex, nofollow"
And it’d have the effect that that entire site can be indexed, but will never be shown in the search results.
-----------------
**SERP - stands for Search Engine Result Pages
