Hi Anderson, 

I'm having an issue where the DesktopModules folder is appearing in a Google Search as per the following screen grab. I have contacted Mandeeps about the issue and his response was the following 

We couldn't find anything in Live Slider that would cause this behavior. Please ask your Web Administrator to look at the IIS Logs. It looks like some default document is being served by the following URL and due to permission a 403 (Forbidden) is thrown.

Your hosting provider or web adminstrator should assist you with resoliving this. Thanks


The site is currently hosted with GoDaddy using Plesk control panel but I can't find any way of preventing this showing up

Any ideas would be greatly appreciated, I've noticed loads of websites display the same folders when searching for DesktopModules/AnyModuleNameHere

Thanks

Phil

Hi Philip,

You can use the robots.txt file to block specific "folders" or paths from getting indexed.

Hi Aderson, 

I'm currently using the standard robots.txt file already but this hasn't made any difference.

Do you have any other suggestions I could try?

Thanks again 

Phil

That is the only one I know Phil, but if you made this change recently to the robots file it may take a while for Google to pick it up.

Cheers,

Aderson
