The protocol delineates the guidelines that every authentic robot must follow, including Google bots. Some illegitimate robots, such as malware, spyware, and the like, by definition, operate outside these rules. As you can see, it is not necessary to have an all-singing, all-dancing file as we are a relatively small website.
Your robots. There is nothing to these files so that they won't be hefty — probably only a few hundred bytes, if that. Once you open the file in your text editor, you will be greeted with something that looks a little like this:.
All you will need is a simple text editor like Notepad. Once that is open, drag your file into it. Finally, you must ensure that you have set the correct permissions for the file. Basically, as the owner, you will need to write, read and edit the file, but no other parties should be allowed to do so. The user agent is the name of the specific crawl bot that the code is speaking to. When a bot is deployed to crawl a website, it will be drawn to the blocks that are calling to them. The user-agent will match a specific bots name, so for example:.
So, for example, if you have got two directives, one for Googlebot-Video and one for Bingbot. Most search engines have a few different bots, here is a list of the most common.

Yahoo, Bing, and Yandex can be a little trigger happy when it comes to crawling, but they do respond to the crawl-delay directive, which keeps them at bay for a while. Now that you know about the basics and how to use a few directives, you can put together your file. However, this next step will come down to the kind of content on your site.
