Short of hacking my server - if I set up a folder on a server with a nonsensical name like the above, there's no real way it can be found by the internet at large, right? I mean, assuming it's kept private and no one links it anywhere.
Right?

I guess google might show it when you search for the normal web adress
- How would you know what to search for though? And how would Google be aware?detritus
- google spiders. it's that simplejimbojones
- if it's not linked, it will not be visible to google.bigtrick
- Google spiders, yes - but spiders need links. If there are no links, there can be no spidering.detritus
- google can figure out structure for example, without any links. like domain.com/10 and it will try domain.com/11 even if there's no linkjimbojones

Are you trying to hide a sub directory? Why not use a robots.txt file?

what about password protecting it on the .htaccess file and excluding from google's eyes using the robots.txt ?

what are you hiding?

I mean if you want to take no risks.... say I create http://www.janpostma.com/skjdgfj…
I wouldn't be surprised if at some point that directory would show up when searching for "janpostma.com"

basically - I keep complex name folders for client previews, as clients tend to forget passwords and .. well, fuckit - my stuff isn't Top Secret and it's just easier.
Today in my stats though, I noticed an unexpected access - checked with client and they couldn't think of any reason for the access (it was from abroad, see?).
It's not important - I was just wondering.

Sorry, just to be clear - there are no links to the content. It's unadvertised, and sent via IM/Email, so there could be no bot/spider/scouring
- but there are internal links between images and the index file?bolus
- sent via Gmail?jimbojones
- hahabolus
- those links aren't advertised to google though, bolus. Nice thinking, JimboJones, but no :)detritus

I think numbers are not indexable neither right? like www.30974764.net

put a password protect on the folders... use simple htaccess/htpasswd based authentication .. it'll stop the bots in their tracks - and provide a very minimal level of security to keep out others...
