This is used mainly to avoid overloading of your website with requests. this is not a mechanism for keeping a web page out of Google. To keep a web page out of Google, you should use no-index directive, or password protect your page.

What is robots.txt

robots.txt is used primarily to manage search engine crawler traffic to our website, and usually to keep a page off Google, ‘robots’ or ‘spiders’ to crawl and index post/pages on the website. That's robots are also known as "user-agents".

Sometimes, robots.txt would make their way on to posts that website owners didn’t want to get indexed. For example, The under construction website or private sites.

The robots.txt file consists of single or more rules. Each rule blocks (or allows) access for a search engine crawler to a Defined file path in that site.

Here is an simple robots.txt code :

Example

User-agent:Media partners-Google
User-agent: *
Disallow: /search
Disallow: /category
Allow: /
Sitemap: siteurl/atom.xml?redirect=false&start-index=1&max-results=500

Sitemap: weburl/sitemap.xml
