The robots exclusion standard, also known as the robots exclusion protocol or simply robots.txt, is a standard used by websites to communicate with web crawlers and other web robots. The standard specifies how to inform the web robot about which areas of the website should not be processed or scanned.

Robots.txt is a text file you put on your site to tell search robots which pages you would like them not to visit. Robots.txt is by no means mandatory for search engines but generally search engines obey what they are asked not to do. It is important to clarify that robots.txt is not a way from preventing search engines from crawling your site.

make sure you include your sitemap in robots.txt

bradprat 05-29-2017 05:03 AM

Also, block your privacy policy and terms of use to be blocked in robots.txt

Robots.txt files inform search engine spiders how to interact with indexing your content.
By default search engines are greedy. They want to index as much high quality information as they can, & will assume that they can crawl everything unless you tell them otherwise.wlers.
