A good way to check if your dev server is in the index is to search for one of the dev URLs. Start with the homepage. If it’s in the index chances are you are screwed. Note to engineers: make sure your dev server is inaccessible to robots (and anyone else) by implementing a login. If you want to be super cautious, which is always a good idea, triple bag that sucker by also disallowing robots in the robots.txt
file and tagging all dev pages as “noindex” (just remember to Asia Mobile Number List
remove the noindex tags when you push the pages live).

Are there instances where this has happened? Jonathan blog.jwegener.com Keri Morgret January 29, 2009 at 9:02 am I’ve had that happen as well,
and here’s what I did to recover and prevent it from happening again: 1) Get the correct robots.txt implemented, and make the file read-only so it doesn’t accidentally get overwritten. 2) Verify the dev site in Google Webmaster Tools. 3) Request removal of the entire site, via GWT. 4) Go to Code Monitor (https://www.polepositionweb.com/roi/codemonitor/) and have that site monitor the robots.txt file on the dev site so you know right away if it gets changed.
