My First robots.txt
- by Whitechapel
I'm creating my first robots.txt and wanted to get a second opinion on it. Basically I have a FTP setup on my board for some special users to transfer files between each other and I do NOT want that included in the search by the bots. I also want to point to my sitemap which gets auto generated by a PHP page. So here is what I have, what else should I include, and if I need to fix anything with it?
Also, it's linking to xmlsitemap.php because that generates the sitemap when called.
My goal is to allow any search bot crawl the forums to grab meta data.
User-agent: *
Disallow: /admin/
Disallow: /ali/
Disallow: /benny/
Disallow: /cgi-bin/
Disallow: /ders/
Disallow: /empire/
Disallow: /komodo_117/
Disallow: /xanxan/
Disallow: /zeroordie/
Disallow: /tmp/
Sitemap: http://www.vivalanation.com/forums/xmlsitemap.php
Edit, I'm not sure how to handle all the user's folders under /public_html/ since the robots.txt will be going in /public_html.
