Frequently Asked Questions

Where should I place my robots.txt file?
The robots.txt file must be placed in the root directory of your website, accessible at https://yourdomain.com/robots.txt. Search engines look for it there automatically.
Does robots.txt prevent pages from being indexed?
Disallowing a URL in robots.txt prevents crawlers from accessing it, but does not guarantee deindexing. If other sites link to a disallowed URL, Google may still index it. Use the noindex meta tag for stronger control.
Can I have different rules for different bots?
Yes. You can add multiple User-agent blocks with different Disallow/Allow rules for specific crawlers. This is useful for allowing Googlebot while blocking less reputable scrapers.
