SiteDirections - The Best Way to Get Top Search Engine Rankings!

Sometimes you will have pages on your site that, for some reason, you do not want to be listed in a search engine (for example administrative pages or templates)

Fortunately, most search engines will obey a set of instructions known as the "robots exclusion protocol", which allows you to specify pages you do not want to be indexed by the search engine's spider. Typically, the webmaster for the site makes a file called robots.txt on the website, with instructions for the search engine when it comes to index the site.

INSTRUCTIONS (please read carefully):

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

2. Type in directories and/or web pages that you do not want indexed, then click on the "ADD" button. Make sure there is a forward "slash" in-between directories and pages, and at the end of directories (indicated in red below). Repeat this step until you have added all of the files you want under the "User Agent". If you don't want a user agent to index ANY of your site, LEAVE THE TEXT FIELD BLANK and click on the "ADD" button. A "/" will appear after "Disallow:" in the code below.

3. 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".

4. When complete, click on "COPY CODE" to save the robots.txt code.

Select a User Agent

Add directories/files you DO NOT want indexed

Directory/Page.html >
Three Examples:  1: folderName/myPage.html
2: folderName/
3: myPage.html

Copy and paste the code into a text file and name it "robots.txt", then upload it into your root directory where your "index" page is.  For example: http://www.MySite.com/robots.txt
