robots.txt

No FTP needed to talk to crawlers.

The robots.txt tells crawlers where to look and where not. You write its content in the admin area, without touching a file on the server. The reference to the sitemap is appended automatically.

All eight plugins included in the lifetime deal — every future one too.

FAQ on robots.txt

What about an existing robots.txt file?
A real file in the root directory takes precedence — the server delivers it before WordPress is asked. If you want to use the content from the admin area, remove the file.
Do I have to write the sitemap reference myself?
No, it is appended automatically. You only take care of your own rules.
Can I use this to take pages out of search?
A block keeps crawlers from fetching. But the robots.txt is not an assurance that an address will never appear in an index again.
