this is to prevent bots from indexing certain pages that you do not want people to see. such as your login page, archive pages, backend pages, user pages, etc...also, to prevent indexing of tag and categories

Generate effective robots.txt files that help ensure Google and other search engines are crawling and indexing your site properly. Robots.txt files create in Noteped ( robots.txt )

If your site contain such page that you want to index in search engine in that case you add robot text to stop the crawler to visit that and also stop to index that page.

Robots.txt is an important file if you want to have control on search engine crawlers for your website. If you don't want to show some web pages of your website then robots.txt file will help you in this regard.

In simple term it gives a massage to the search engine crawlers or spiders which web pages of your site should be indexed and which one should be ignored.

With robot.txt you can control which page google should index and which page it should not crawl.

search engine bot assign limited bandwidth to index a site, robots text can effectively help the bot decide the important page to index.

Robot.txt tell to Google which page should be crawl and which should be not crawl. It is good for website.

josephjohn4556 03-20-2013 04:47 AM

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, and will assume that they can crawl everything unless you tell them otherwise.
If you specify data for all bots and data for a specific bot (like GoogleBot) then the specific bot commands.

Robots.txt is an important file in which you give instructions to search engine crawler that which pages you want to crawl and which are not.

tanveerhabib 03-21-2013 03:33 AM

Robot.txt is very important as it tells search engine about which folders and pages to index and which not to index.

moopons95 03-25-2013 02:37 AM

Robot.txt is very important page.

vrfranks 03-25-2013 03:30 AM

It BLOCKS permission to crawl certain areas. zyxwvu was right about that

It is a simple text file that goes in the "root" folder of your website, the same folder that contains index.html

robots.txt has no importance in SEO

outure11 03-25-2013 09:50 PM

Robots.txt file is a very important file if you want to have a good ranking on search engines, many websites don't offer this file. A Robots.txt file is helpful to keep out unwanted search engine spiders like email retrievers, image strippers, etc. It defines which paths are off limits for spiders to visit. This is useful if you want to hide some personal information or some secret files.
