robots.txt is part of the Joomla core. You'd do to do a manual update to stop that file from updating.
Auto Update bad for SEO and you and I now about it. But our client not! Whey simply press 'Update' button
Robots.txt controls which parts of your sites can be accessed (or not) by Google.
One common change to the robots.txt is to remove the line which stops search engines from indexing the /images/ folder.
That might help get more clicks from places such as Google Images.
Thanks for your prompt response. Below is my robots.txt file, which one do I need to remove?
# If the Joomla site is installed within a folder such as at
# e.g. www.example.com/joomla/ the robots.txt file MUST be
# moved to the site root at e.g. www.example.com/robots.txt
# AND the joomla folder name MUST be prefixed to the disallowed
# path, e.g. the Disallow rule for the /administrator/ folder
# MUST be changed to read Disallow: /joomla/administrator/
#
# For more information about the robots.txt standard, see:
# www.robotstxt.org/orig.html
#
# For syntax checking, see:
# www.sxw.org.uk/.../check.html
User-agent: *
Disallow: /administrator/
Disallow: /cache/
Disallow: /cli/
Disallow: /components/
Disallow: /images/
Disallow: /includes/
Disallow: /installation/
Disallow: /language/
Disallow: /libraries/
Disallow: /logs/
Disallow: /media/
Disallow: /modules/
Disallow: /plugins/
Disallow: /templates/
Disallow: /tmp/
Remove:
Disallow: /images/
Just wondering why the core include this code.
I notice that even with Joomla 3.1.1, the Disallow: /images/ is come inside the robots.txt file. Should I remove it too for SEO?
Regards,
Joseph
