[Gllug] OT: domain name appears on google by magic!

[bradut at intelesuri.net]

while no expert I'll share from the little I know:

google itself has an extesive FAQ on preventing robots caching info and
so on. 
>From my experience, there is a lot that can be done to stop pages being
cached by search engines, but all in all pages on a publicly accessed
web server (which yours seems to be) will be cached and therefore
visible in search engines.
