Full Version: Robots File?
You're currently viewing a stripped down version of our content. View the full version with proper formatting.
I have uploaded the standard robots.txt file to the root for my forum.

This is what is included:

User-Agent: *
Disallow: /moderation.php
Disallow: /ratethread.php
Disallow: /report.php
Disallow: /reputation.php
Disallow: /sendthread.php
Disallow: /usercp.php
Disallow: /usercp2.php
Disallow: /postings.php
Disallow: /newreply.php
Disallow: /newthread.php
Disallow: /editpost.php
Disallow: /private.php
Disallow: /search.php

That looks fine.

But also, my site is indexed by google and is showing pages like ratethread.php and misc.php, i'm not sure if these should be indexed?

Should i also add these files to the robots.txt aswell to stop them from getting indexed.

Also what about /images
/syndication.php
/archive/
/task.php
/css.php
/attachment.php

Should i also add the above files to the robots.txt?

Let me know which files should i add.

Thanks Smile
There's an example robots.txt included in the Google SEO plugin (but I do not claim it to be perfect, just as another example)
I'll check it out. Thanks Smile
Ok, i've checked out your example robots.txt from the Google SEO Plugin. It does include some extra stuff but doesn't include some of the stuff i posted before.

Should i allow these:

/images
/syndication.php
/archive/
/task.php
/css.php
/attachment.php
