Abstract
Requests received from bots for non-adult personal content pages are processed to prevent the content pages from being stored and indexed. Excluding non-adult personal content pages from access to search engines protects the privacy of the non-adult associated with the page. A personal content page may be implemented as and/or include a profile, a blog, or other content and/or personal information for the non-adult. A recognized bot which sends a content request for a non-adult personal content page is not provided with meta-data allowing a search engine to index the page. Additionally, the bot is instructed to not access and/or index the non-adult personal content page. By not providing personal content page meta-data to the bot and instructing the bot to not access and/or index the non-adult owner's page, the bot should not acquire information regarding the personal content page.
