A very basic robots. If you want to give instructions to multiple robots, create a set of user-agent and disallow directives for each one. So if you want to allow all robots to crawl your entire site, your robots. That bot will follow the instructions for Googlebot, as it is the most specific set of directives that apply to it.
The second part of robots. You can have multiple disallow lines per set of directives, but only one user-agent. You can get granular with disallow directives by specifying specific pages, directories, subdirectories and file types. You can also use robots.
While the robots. So in the directives above, a robot would automatically expand the asterisk to match the path of the filename.
For example, it would be able to figure out that www. So these pages are blocked:. One issue you might encounter with your robots. That page would not be crawled because it matches the exclusion pattern. This will tell search engine crawlers to avoid only files that end in the exclusion pattern. Sometimes you might want to exclude every file in a directory but one. You can do this the hard way by writing a disallow line for every file except the one you want crawled.
Or you can use the Allow directive. Wildcards and pattern-matching rules work the same for the Allow directive as they do for Disallow. There are a few other directives you can use in your robots. One is is the Host directive. This is recognized by Yandex, the most popular search engine in Russia, and works as a www resolve.
The best way to handle the www resolve is using redirects. It specifies a numerical value that represents a number of seconds - the crawl-delay line should look like crawl-delay: However, if you get little to no traffic from those search engines, you can use crawl-delay to save bandwidth.
You can also set the crawl-delay to specific user agents. Change your Search appearance. Using structured data. Feature guides. Debug with search operators. Web Stories. Early Adopters Program. Optimize your page experience. Choose a configuration. Search APIs. Introduction to robots. What is a robots. Media file Use a robots. Read more about preventing images from appearing on Google. Read more about how to remove or restrict your video files from appearing on Google.
Resource file You can use a robots. However, if the absence of these resources make the page harder for Google's crawler to understand the page, don't block them, or else Google won't do a good job of analyzing pages that depend on those resources.
Understand the limitations of a robots. The instructions in robots. While Googlebot and other respectable web crawlers obey the instructions in a robots. Therefore, if you want to keep information secure from web crawlers, it's better to use other blocking methods, such as password-protecting private files on your server.
Different crawlers interpret syntax differently. For Google and Bing, the rule is that the directive with the most characters wins. If the allow and disallow directives are equal in length, then the least restrictive directive wins. In this case, that would be the allow directive. Crucially, this is only the case for Google and Bing. Other search engines listen to the first matching directive. Use this directive to specify the location of your sitemap s to search engines.
How important is including your sitemap s in your robots. For example:. Google supports the sitemap directive, as do Ask, Bing, and Yahoo. Here are the directives that are no longer supported by Google —some of which technically never were.
Previously, you could use this directive to specify a crawl delay in seconds. Google no longer supports this directive, but Bing and Yandex do. That said, be careful when setting this directive, especially if you have a big site. This directive was never officially supported by Google.
However, on September 1st, , Google made it clear that this directive is not supported. This is another directive that Google never officially supported, and was used to instruct search engines not to follow links on pages and files under a specific path. For example, if you wanted to stop Google from following all links on your blog, you could use the following directive:. Google announced that this directive is officially unsupported on September 1st, Like Google says , if content is linked to from other places on the web, it may still appear in Google search results.
If you already have a robots. Navigate to the URL in your browser. If you see something like this, then you have a robots. Just open a blank. Alternatively, you can also use a robots. The advantage of using a tool like this is that it minimizes syntax errors. Place your robots. For example, to control crawling behavior on domain. If you want to control crawling on a subdomain like blog. For example, if you wanted to prevent search engines from accessing parameterized product category URLs on your site, you could list them out like this:.
It would be better to simplify things with a wildcard like this:. In other words, any parameterized product category URLs. For example, if you wanted to prevent search engines accessing all.
