I have noticed an increasing problem with having my Textism Refer page indexed by google and basically clog it up with useless results. People are searching for Foamys Rant, and instead of getting the script, they get my refer page.
I have come across this myself a few times in the last month, when searching things in google, and it is quite frustrating to think you found something only to be directed to their referal page. This can easily be remedied, however, by either creating (or adding) the following to your robots.txt file (which should be placed in your root)
User-agent: * Disallow: /refer/
The star means the rule applies to any robot (as opposed to a specific one like googlebot). The next line tells any spider that comes here to not crawl or index http://gtmcknight.com/refer. If you want to add other folders to block, add another line with Disallow on it. One directory per line. If you need more help, check out Search Engine World's Robots.txt Tutorial
So go grab the latest Refer 2.1 from Textism (just released Nov 27th), please, please create your robots.txt file, and help keep Google clean for our children!
