What are the different ways to keep a site out of Google’s index? Which do you use and when?

Hi Friends,
We can keep your site out of Google's index by 2 easy methods which we followed for our pay stub generator website.

Disallow in robots.txt file
Adding No follow No index to the specific/all pages
So If you want to keep the whole website out of crawling and indexing, you can go with the robots.txt option. it will be done in a few minutes. we prefer 2nd while adding a new page or modifying an existing page when the site is live.

you can use robots.txt file and mention your website and write disallow after the link so that google also get notified that not to index this particular page

[Talaa]

Log in to your site and head over to Settings > Reading and check the box of 'Search Engine Visibility'. Lastly, don't forget to click on Save Changes button.

Block search indexing with 'noindex'

<meta name="robots" content="noindex">

You can list the URLs in the disallow section in your website robots.txt file. This will prevent search engine crawlers from crawling the webpages.
