What about robots.txt

Won't help at all. robots.txt file is mainly for excluding pages and/or
certain directories.

What about robots.txt

Actually....,

You can make great use of robot files if you know how to used them =
effeciently. For example:

You can create a page that has nothing but a list of links that goes to =
every single product page in your miva store. Not a very pretty page =
and one you would not want most customers to see, but using a robat =
file, you could have the robot go to this page and follow all links =
from this page, but not index this link page. The results is that when =
your site is indexed, all your product detail pages are indexed, but =
this page is excluded so that people would not normally find this page =
unless they knew it was there.

here is a great link that provides example uses of robot files and is =
one fo the greatest sites for SEO information.

What about robots.txt

Richard,

What do you mean by robot files? There is robot.txt which is one file and
robot meta tags. It sounds like your are talking about a robot meta tag
that will tell robots to not index the page but follow the links.<meta
name="robots" content="noindex,follow"> Why not just make a pretty sitemap
page and link to it in the normal fashion. If you optimize it properly, it
can get you significant traffic and sales. There are even two modules that
will do this for you. I went to that link you gave and all it discusses is
disallowing robots from indexing directories with the robots.txt file and
nothing more.

What about robots.txt

Robots.txt files are actually used to prevent indexing. They do not
help to gain better search engine placement, but rather to restrict the
robots and spiders from certain files or subdirectories.

For more information about robots.txt and how to create them, see the
following link:
