SEO and robots.txt file

Submitted by crounauer on Tue, 2007-10-09 10:56 in

Hello,

Just thought I would share a little info I read on a recent development with regards to a new standard in the robots.txt file.

Google in particular and all I believe that all the other search engines will follow in due course, will now recognise a reference to your sitemap file when placed in the robots.txt file.

Place this line at the top of your robots.txt file.

Sitemap: http://www.####.co.uk/sitemap.php

Within a few days it will show up in the google webmaster tools under "Analyze robts.txt" file!

Line 1 : Sitemap: http://www.####.co.uk/sitemap.php Valid sitemap reference detected

Thanks,
Simon
