The robots exclusion protocol (REP), or robots.txt is a text file webmasters create to instruct robots (typically search engine robots) how to crawl and index pages on their website.

In SEO, robots.txt is important for newly built websites. It is used to stop the crawler to not visit the page or website.

Here are some of the reasons why robots.txt could be critical and essential to your website:

#$There are files in your website that you want to be hidden or blocked from search engines.
#$Special instructions are needed when you are using advertisements.
#$You want your website to follow Google guidelines in order to boost SEO.

Use of Robots.txt - The most common usage of Robots.txt is to ban crawlers from visiting private folders or content that gives them no additional information.

Robots.txt Allowing Access to Specific Crawlers.
Allow everything apart from certain patterns of URLs.
