Robots, User-agent:, Crawlers & Spiders


Robots.txt Generator

INSTRUCTIONS:

  • 1. Select a user agent (robot) in the below. The default is "ALL User Agents", then click on the "ADD USER AGENT" button.

  • 2. Type in folders and/or web pages that you do not want indexed by search engines, then click on the "ADD" button. Make sure you not add a forward slash, for example if I would like that my html folder not get indexed by search engines type the folowing in "Add directories" html/.
Repeat this step until you have added all of the files or folders you want under the "User Agent". If you don't want a user agent to index ANY of your site, LEAVE THE TEXTFIELD BLANK and click on the "ADD" button below. A "/" will appear after "Disallow:" in the code below.

Once step 2 is complete, you may repeat steps 1 & 2 again until you have added all of the "User Agents" you want, and files under each that you want to "Disallow".

  • 3. When complete, click on "COPY CODE" to save the robots.txt code in a text file, after you can start uploading it to your server. Please make sure that you upload it to your root were the index is located.

Robots.txt Generator


Select a User Agent





Add directories/files you DO NOT want indexed
 

Three Examples:

  • 1: folderName/myPage.html
  • 2: folderName/
  • 3: myPage.html
  


Details and meaning of these tags

  • Allow: /myDirectory/secretPage.html # Or my "secretPage.html" inside "myDirectory"
  • User-agent: Scooter # This is AltaVista's robot
  • Disallow: /somePage.asp # This means AltaVista is not allowed to index "somePage.asp", but the rest can
  • User-agent: Googlebot-Images # This is Google's image search robot
  • Disallow: /myImages/ # This means Google images is not allowed to index my directory "myImages"
  • Disallow: /myPage-Full-Of-Images.html # Or "myPage-Full-Of-Images.html"
  • User-agent: WebCrawler # This is WebCrawler's robot
  • Disallow: / # This means WebCrawler is not allowed to index ANY of my site
The above example is heavily commented to help you. if you want to add comments, make sure you use a # sign in front of each comment. The robots will ignore these comments. Below you can view a example we use ourself
  • # Disallow crawlers access to certain pages.


Make sure there is 1 empty space in front of and after the # sign. Personally, I would leave out any comments. You don't want to make a mistake that could anger any "spiders" and keep them from indexing your site altogether.

Examples

User-agent: *
Disallow: /cgi-bin/
Disallow: /html/yourpage.php

User-agent: googlebot
Disallow: /Yourpage.php

User-agent: Googlebot-Images
Disallow: /Images/

User-agent: WebCrawler
Disallow: /
