Is there a way to make search engines list just the home page of a website, instead of the other pages which may feature the search engine content?
F'r'instance, A customer has a website with an intro page that they want to force their users to go to, but the search engines instead go to the home page. Is such a thing possible? I don't know where to start.

One solution would be to set a session cookie on the homepage. If the visitor views a different page first, the cookie wouldn't have been set, and you can re-direct to the homepage.
I can't do this in PHP, but thats what I would do in ASP, it should also be possible in JavaScript - but less secure.

Not a bad idea. I can actually do this be setting a variable instead, so it works each time the user visits the site. (Poor users! The things customers want to make them do!
