Thought of this when I woke up today and I think it would be neat if like WordPress in the installation there was a checkbox wether they wanted to appear in search engines or not.

+1 for this idea.

Deny Google bot's IP by using htaccess.

Robots.txt exists for a reason. No need for it to be core.

Yes, that is what I said.

Why it shouldn't be as a core feature? It would help newbies.

I don't think much webmasters would want to hinder search engines from exploring their sites. The others who want, may use htaccess (robots) method.

You can use robots.txt or ban search engine bot's IP addresses but i don't know why you should like it. you lost many traffic by doing it.

New users who don't know .htaccess or robots.txt would use it. +1
