how to get my site out of google search?

I am still building my site and I would like to know how to get it out the google search results until it's ready. I think it was automatically put in when I installed it.

Put a robots.txt file in the root of the site and tell google to not index the site; tell any robot not to index the site since you probably don't want it on Bing and other search engines.

See: http://www.robotstxt.org/

In a nutshell

Web site owners use the /robots.txt file to give instructions about their site to web robots; this is called The Robots Exclusion Protocol.

It works likes this: a robot wants to vists a Web site URL, say http://www.example.com/welcome.html. Before it does so, it firsts checks for http://www.example.com/robots.txt, and finds:

User-agent: *
Disallow: /

The "User-agent: *" means this section applies to all robots. The "Disallow: /" tells the robot that it should not visit any pages on the site.

And to clarify the part about your assumption that it was submitted automatically when you installed it.

Dolphin does not do that. In many cases just owning a domain name is all that is needed for search engines to find your site. It may get indexed faster if you submit it, but most if the time it is no longer necessary. Some search engines will crawl registered domains, and if you made the mistake of posting your sites domain or url anywhere it will get found.

But dolphin itself does not submit it.

Thanks, I just put this robots.txt the root of my site

User-agent: *
Disallow: /

Deano is correct.  I have never submitted my site to any search engines and I have seen content from the site listed in search results.  If you wish to remove the current listing from Google, you have to submit some form to Google I believe.

I'd consider it too late if it's already listed in the search engines.  While you are developing the site you could work on it under a sub-domain such as "dev.domainname.com".  Plus add the previously suggested ideas to instruct search engine bots to not index the site.

If you have or get a free Google Webmaster Tools account you can remove individual urls, directories, or your entire site using a combination of robots.txt and the Google Index - Remove URLs feature in Webmaster Tools.

It also provides you with the ability to Reinclude later. Last time I checked it would be valid for 90 days.

I have never tried to remove all urls or an entire site, but individual urls are usually removed in less than 24 hours once you do this.

Otherwise you just have to wait for Google to deindex it, which may take awhile depending on how often it crawls your site.

When you are ready to have your site indexed by Google don't forget to remove the disallow from robots.txt, and you could use the Crawl - Fetch as Google to submit your site to be indexed in Google Webmaster Tools.

I am not sure if Bing Webmaster Tools has a similar feature or not. I haven't logged into Bing in awhile.

Next time you could password protect the location in your hosting control panel that you want to install Dolphin first, or use .htaccess to restrict access to your ip address only if it doesn't change very often. That way only you have access. Then when your ready to be indexed remove the restriction or password protect.
