About Robots.TXT

[easyarticles]

If website of website or Site owner wishes to give some instructions to search engine robots, then place a text file called robots.txt in the root of the website server. Instruction like which page to crawl and which is not crawl. And same for folders.

A robots.txt file covers one website. If you create many numbers of sub-domain, then you have to create robots.txt for each sub-domain. For ex. If you main website is xys.com and you create robots for xys.com. And you create one sub-domain d.xys.com. Then rule of xyz ( robots.txt instructions) is not applied for d.xys.com, you have to create the new robots.txt and upload in d.xys.com - location.

@easyarticles that was nice but this would be only applicable if you have access of root folder of the sire else robot.txt can be applied through meta content text placed in meta tag.

A robots.txt file restricts access to your site by search engine robots that crawl the web. These bots are automated, and before they access pages of a site, they check to see if a robots.txt file exists that prevents them from accessing certain pages.

This is helpful but how do you place robot text in your website server.

Just literally add a robots.txt file to the root of your FTP. There are lots of robots.txt makers online which will help you create one. A good thing to do with a robots.txt is to add the address of your sitemap to it!

For this you need to have access to FTP or you need to ask to put this text in root folder of FTP.

This is a file some include in some or all of their website directories. Search engine robots (bots) look at this file to see if they should crawl and index pages on your site, certain file types or even the entire site. An absence of this file gives them the green light to crawl and index your site.

I had to use this to block my profile page on a company's web site whom I was working for. They were getting into hot water with the law in certain states, and it was very possible at the time that they were going to get sued. Anyhow, the president of the company insisted we all create bio pages for all of us, along with a photo. I didn't want my name out there that I was working for this place, so I put it in the Robots.txt file to not index that page. If something were to happen long after I left the company, I didn't want my name getting dragged through the mud with them.

robots. txt file tells search engine crawlers which URLs the crawler can access on your site. This is used mainly to avoid overloading your site with requests; it is not a mechanism for keeping a web page out of Google. To keep a web page out of Google, block indexing with noindex or password-protect the page.
