Robots.txt is a file used by websites to instruct search engine crawlers on which pages to index or avoid. It helps manage site visibility in search engine results and control the behavior of web crawlers.

Search Engine Journal has published ‘A Guide To Robots.txt: Best Practices For SEO’.

Vahan Petrosyan says, “Understanding how to use the robots.txt file is crucial for any website’s SEO strategy. Mistakes in this file can impact how your website is crawled and your pages’ search appearance. Getting it right, on the other hand, can improve crawling efficiency and mitigate crawling issues.

Google recently reminded website owners about the importance of using robots.txt to block unnecessary URLs.

Those include add-to-cart, login, or checkout pages. But the question is – how do you use it properly?

In this article, we will guide you into every nuance of how to do just so.”
