Hi Donna,
The crawler does not go through to your web page as a visitor would but
reads directly the html code such as your meta, h1, title, alt and other
html tags. thus it does not need to access via a password. If for eg. your
title is <.title> Ancestors of Donna<./title> it will read this and index
it.
It is possible to tell Google not read individual pages by putting the meta
tag <.meta name="robots" content="noindex".> (ignore the dots) on every page
that you do
not wish it to read. A time consuming task if you have lots of them!
I haven't tried it but I think if you only export the deceased then there
will be gaps. Maybe a way round this is to use the option of inserting
"living" instead of the name. Again, I haven't tried it but I suspect this
may work as you wish. Before publishing have a look at the html code (on IE
use View>Source or similar on other browsers) and see what name is in the
title and meta tags. If the name you wish to hide is there then a crawler
can read it.
Hope this helps.
Ron Ferguson

Subject: RE: [LegacyUG] Privatize ALL the Living - Help
Actually I exported only name info on living people so my gedcom on my
server has only names, but they are not visible to the public. In fact, the
folder that has my gedcom is password protected using .htaccess. But Google
shows the name details yet my site says it is not there when you search. It
says is it 'hidden'. Thus is it in my gedcom and password protected, yet
Google is getting it. I have tried to access my ged file directly from my
server and it asks for my password. So how is it bypassing all my security
measures and still publishing names.
If I privatize all living people before I export, then they are not even
present in my gedcom when I upload it to the server, thus Google will never
find it regardless of how they are accessing it....beause it won't be there.
I know what I can do instead. I will tag all dead and export only those who
are dead....do you think that would work or will it fragment a file and make
islands instead of keeping all people attached
