Block web archieve/way back machine

[Mikey008]

Hi i want to block web archive/wayback machine from indexing my site and creating a record of it on their database.

Any ideas on how to do this?

Cheers,

You can block Wayback Machine from crawling and creating a record of your site by adding the following to your Robots.txt file:

User-agent: ia_archiver
Disallow: /

This will not only stop new records from being created but also stop people viewing what had previously been indexed by Wayback Machine.
