Robot Exclusion Rules

Picture Tools obeys robot excision rules.  If you own a gallery and would like to prevent users from using Picture Tools on your site you may add a robot exclusion rule to your page.

To prevent all robots from running on your page you can place the following meta tag element into your page's HTML code:
     <META NAME="ROBOTS" CONTENT="NOFOLLOW">

To allow other robots to run on a page but prevent Picture Tools from running, use the following tag:
     <META NAME="Picture Tools" CONTENT="NOFOLLOW">

More information on this standard meta tag element can be found at  http://www.robotstxt.org/wc/exclusion.html#meta.  Note: Picture Tools does not look for robots.txt in a sites root directory.
