It was thus said that the Great René Wagner once stated:
Hi,
simple question:
is the following robots.txt format valid in a form that the "disallow" is applied to all User-agents mentioned before?
---
User-agent: researcher
User-agent: indexer
User-agent: archiver
Disallow: about
---
That will work, but you need to add a leading '/' to the Disallow line:
Disallow: /about
That will match any request starting with '/about', like '/about','/aboutthis', '/about/that', etc.
or do i need to be more chatty?
---
User-agent: researcher
Disallow: about
User-agent: indexer
Disallow: about
User-agent: archiver
Disallow: about
---
That will work too (same thing about the Disallow: line though). You canread more about it at <http://www.robotstxt.org/>.
