Robots.txt
-
My campaign hse24 (www.hse24.de) is not being crawled any more ...
Do you think this can be a problem of the robots.txt?
I always thought that Google and friends are interpretating the file correct, seen that he site was crawled since last week.
Thanks a lot
Bernd
NB: Here is the robots.txt:

Hallo Bernd,
Of course, I agree with everyone else that you need to fix your robots.txt file.
However I'd also add the suggestion that you setup Google Webmaster Tools for your site. These will help inform you about crawl errors and your robots.txt file and might be helpful for you in future.
Also whilst having a quick look at your site I noticed some duplicate page title issues. Make sure you are tracking your site with SEOmoz's campaign tool. It will really help you find these types of issues.
Viel Glück!

Yep, You just made your site invisible! >.<
Personally I just disallow areas I don't want indexing and let all bots crawl.
User-Agent: *
Disallow: /whatever I don't want indexed
-
User-Agent: * Disallow: /
That is blocking every bot from crawling anything.
User-Agent: * = every robot Disallow: / = every directory

Adding your sitemap to robots.txt
Hi everyone, Best practice question: When adding your sitemap to your robots.txt file, do you add the whole sitemap at once or do you add different subcategories (products, posts, categories,..) separately? I'm very curious to hear your thoughts!

Robots.txt & meta noindex--site still shows up on Google Search
I have set up my robots.txt like this: User-agent: *
Technical SEO | | RoxBrock
Disallow: / and I have this meta tag in my on a Wordpress site, set up with SEO Yoast name="robots" content="noindex,follow"/> I did "Fetch as Google" on my Google Search Console My website is still showing up in the search results and it says this: "A description for this result is not available because of this site's robots.txt" This site has not shown up for years and now it is ranking above my site that I want to rank for this keyword. How do I get Google to ignore this site? This seems really weird and I'm confused how a site with little content, that has not been updated for years can rank higher than a site that is constantly updated and improved.1 -
Robots.txt | any SEO advantage to having one vs not having one?
Neither of my sites has a robots.txt file. I guess I have never been bothered by any particular bot enough to exclude it. Is there any SEO advantage to having one anyways?
