Test website on another webserver – no Google seo

I have a website on a production server and I have changes to the site I’ll like to test on another webserver.

Is there a way to avoid Google’s SEO on the test website. Maybe setup in the web.config?

    It works likes this: a robot wants to vists a Web site URL, say http://www.example.com/welcome.html. Before it does so, it firsts checks for http://www.example.com/robots.txt

    So if you want to disallow all the search engines then upload a robots.txt file on your webserver.
    and include following piece of code:

    User-agent: *
Disallow: /

    This will stop all the search engines from crawling.

    and when you will put it on your production server. Change the piece of code to(in robots.txt file):

    User-agent: *
Disallow:

Sitemap: http://www.yourdomainname.com/sitemap.xml

    and also include a sitemap.xml file.
    Remember, The “User-agent: *” means this section applies to all robots. The “Disallow: /” tells the robot that it should not visit any pages on the site.
