I want to block search engines from crawling my websites. Atleast for Msn, Yahoo, Google, and Yandex.
i dont really trust robot.txt. Because they can simply ignore it and continue crawling.
I would use rails as my web framework.
How can i do it, atleast to decrease the posibility destructive action they do by simply crawling a specific page.
Is there any special mark or identifier on them while they are crawling a site ?

An elegant way to specify search engine crawling instructions for non-html files without having to use robots.txt. This comes first in listing. Some other crawling control methods listed below:
Use noindexpage meta tags:
<meta name="robots" content="noindex" />
Use index in page meta tags with searchengine name to crawl:
<meta name="googlebot" content="index" />
Nofollow: Tell search engines not to spider some or all links on a page
<meta name="robots" content="nofollow" />
To specify nofollow at the link level, add the attribute rel with the value nofollow to the link:
<a href="mypage.html" rel="nofollow" />
Use X-Robots-Tag in your http headers which is accepted only by yahoo.
