Create Robots.txt for all virtual hosts on Wamp and Windows
0
I am looking to create a way by which all my localhost website are not accessible by search engine robots. Adding robots.txt to each virtual host is one option but I am looking for a way to do this for all previous and new virtual as you may know Wamp allow creation of virtual host through GUI so it would be good to add a way so that all new virtual host automatically refer to a robots.txt file so they are not being tracked

Unless you changed the access in Apache. Nothing from outside your PC can access your sites in WAMPServer, Virutally Hosted or not :)

Do you actually want your sites to be visible from the internet?

If this is Google analytics calls made from javascript on your web pages, then therobots.txtis not going to stop that from happening.robots.txtonly applies to search engines searching your site. And even then it is not enforcable, they can ignore it if they are bad robots :)

Alternatively, I seem to remember Google allow you to setup a "Please Ignore" if calls are made from specific IP addresses. Thats mainly used to stop inhouse dev/testers affecting the stats, but you could use that to stop calls from your IP address from being logged
