Answer 1

a ) If a untitled document is a link then it become a click able item that means we can redirect to the particular link or source of the link. To make it more meaningful web developer should used a better phrase to describe a link

for e.g <a href ="www.example.com">Link Here to know more </a>. To make user understand that it is a link to open. We can also provide color to a link to make it more visible.

b ) Two different ways to hide our private page from the search engine is :

1) Via robots.txt file

Robots.txt files keep all unwanted content out of the search results. So create a robots.txt file containing this two fields

User-agent : - identify crawler in question

Disallow - Describe in 2 lines for specific crawler not to access parts of a site.

2 ) Via a robots noindex meta tag

When google bot fetches a page and after fetching the page it sees for the non index meta tag and if it is non index then google bot doesn't include this page into the web index.

for example :- <meta name ='robots' content = 'index ,follow'>

This tag tells a search engine bot to index this and all other oages of the site.
