: Should I notify 'under construction' websites to crawlers? If yes how? I am currently developing a website which is going to take some time to finish. I need to move some 'stuff' to production

I am currently developing a website which is going to take some time to finish. I need to move some 'stuff' to production frequently, while maintaining a under construction status. My front page will clearly mention that my website is under construction.

I know crawlers will access my URL before I am ready to go live. Should I tell them my site is under construction (no need to index)? If yes how?

P.S.: Eventually, I am ok to let them see my under construction front page.

Don't worry! Published and be damned! Avoid any mention of 'under construction'. Hey, every site is a work in progress. Maybe you could give us a link so that we could see the problem (or lack of problem).

My guess is that search engines (and readers) will love your site if it keeps on publishing new pages.

If you don't want the search engines indexing your content before you're ready, block them with robots.txt and meta tag.
