Hi all,

I was just wondering what you think is the best method of setting up your build so that the development site doesn't get indexed to a search engine but the live site is.

Thanks in advance.

You can add

<META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="NOINDEX, NOFOLLOW">

to the head of your dev site?

User-agent: *
Disallow: /

to your robots.txt file.

Just don't push either file to your live server.
