I created a web application based on couchdb. It is hosted on cloudant.com (thanks guys, you from cloduant are wonderful!).
The name of the app is R.I.D.E.::Research Infrastructure Database for EPOS .
My problem is that when googling for it, if you insert the keywords "epos ride" then the first result is the design document... and this is absolutely not fine for my customers searching for the web app!
As long as I understand it, it is not possible to:
- read_protect design documents (they contain fundamental information that must be accesible by the user, see. http://guide.couchdb.org/draft/design.html);
- create a "redirect" from that page to the real index page (which only has a "/index.html" appendend to it), because the idea is exactly that through this RESTful API you get the design docs.
So I think the only way is to prevent google indexing design documents. Is that possible in some way? Are there any other solutions to solve this issue?
