The robot text file is used to disallow specific or all search engine spider’s access to folders or pages that you don't want indexed.Why would you want to do this? You may have created a personnel page for company employees that you don't want listed. Some webmasters use it to exclude their guest book pages so to avoid people spamming. There are many different reasons to use the robots text file.How do I use it?You need to upload it to the root of your web site or it will not work - if you don't have access to the root then you will need to use a Meta tag to disallow access. You need to include both the user agent and a file or folder to disallow.What does it look like?It's really nothing more than a "Notepad" type .txt file named "robots.txt"The basic syntax is User-agent: spiders name hereDisallow:/ filename hereIf you use User-agent: *The * acts as a wildcard and disallows all spiders. You may want to use this to stop search engines listing unfinished pages.To disallow an entire directory useDisallow:/mydirectory/To disallow an individual file useDisallow:/file.htmYou have to use a separate line for each disallow. You cannot you for example useDisallow:/file1.htm,file2.htmlYou should useUse-agent/*Disallow:/file1.htmDisallow:/file2.htmFor a list of spider names visithttp://www.robotstxt.org/wc/active/html/ Make sure you use the right syntax if you don't it will not work.
