    Simple.... don't post !!

    YOU as a website user can't tell Google NOT to spider posts. Only each website owner can put spider proof areas on the site (Like Franck did here with the private lounge area)

    sadly if you post using the same name for every site you will eventually be "profiled" by google. And anyone who searches for that one name will be able to get an idea of your habits.

    Sorry.

    Not exactly sure what you're asking in this question, but there are parts of this forum that are not searched by Google – The Private Lounge being the most obvious.

    you could pollute the search results with other 'people' who are clearly not you, and are into all sorts of odd activities...

    How do you get rid of your Ghost



    well I find if you get an old priest and a young priest.. say "the power of Christ compels you" a lot, then fall down a flight of steps usually helps !

    I'm an altar server so that's probably not so effective as you might think.....
