These are too easy to find when I *don't* want them, but this afternoon I can't find any. They may seem more frequent because they're frustrating.
But one technique for doing that -- for allowing Google to see & index web pages while keeping others out -- is explained here:
http://www.bu.edu/webcentral/learning/restrict/search.html
--and reassures me that I wasn't just imagining it ;-)That technique uses an .htaccess file and code something like
<limit GET POST>
deny from all
allow from google.com
require valid-user
</limit>There are apparently other techniques that depend on the degree of access the site owner has to the server, I guess.
I'll keep looking for non-publishing-related examples. (I'm also ignoring adult-content sites...)
