Hello all, I have always used the default Robots.txt file and never make any changes to it, I was wondering if I should be making changes to it to help in search engines etc or does it as default do its job ok?
Cheers

Hi I tried that test out and had one error which said
Disallow: admin.php
We advise you to start a file/directory name with a leading slash char (Example: /private.html).
dont understand it to be honest?
thanks for your help
mrix
p.s
my robots.txt looks like this
User-agent: Mediapartners-Google*
Disallow:
User-agent: *
Disallow: admin.php
Disallow: /admin/
Disallow: /images/
Disallow: /includes/
Disallow: /themes/
Disallow: /blocks/
Disallow: /modules/
Disallow: /language/
actually this is the standard robots.txt file for 7.6 and 7.7? is it wrong? |

Disallow: /admin.php
Disallow: /admin/ |

I donīt know. But i checked my Nuke 6.5 severall times with different robots.text checkers before and this one is the best of all. There are also no errors, if u use crawl-delay for some bots. |
