Please stop crawling my LIVE SITE (SOLVED)

Dear Community

I have spent a little bit of time researching this on the forum and found patches of information but I felt I would like to open a thread.

I want to completely, to the best I possibly can block any search engines from finding my application.

Under the SEO tools in the box it currently says this

User-agent: *
Disallow: /version-test/

I assume that there is something else I can type in here to not allow Bots to crawl my live site- can anyone suggest how i can achieve this?

Many thanks in advance

That’s usually what one writes in the robots.txt file to prevent bots from crawling your site.

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

To exclude all robots from the entire server

User-agent: * 
Disallow: /

Add another disallow.

Disallow: /

Another option is to use meta tags. http://www.robotstxt.org/meta.html

So it really is that simple?
Far too easy guys thanks a lot!
